Over the past weekend, I had a hell of my time caring for my two kids who had high fever. It was a roller coaster ride, down and up to 39.8 degC.
One of the recommendation from the GP was to acquire water cushions, place them in the fridge to cool them, then place them under the bed sheet or within the pillow case and get the kids to lie on them. This will help to dissipate the body heat and lower the body temperature. The water cushion might be kept cool if it is used in an air-conditioned room. Wrap the cold Water Cushion with a towel if necessary as condensation would occur around the Water cushion; you would not want the patient to be drenched, would you?
So, how much did the Water Cusion cost me?
If you go to the BIG stores in the shopping malls, it may cost you from around S$8 to S$15.
But you could also get it at around S$2 in value shops, such as the Value$. And I bought two of them, so I could interchange them when one of them becomes warm.
What's the length & width? It's about 45cm x 30cm, big enough to cover the upper body of a 7 y.o. kid.
So, what do I do with them when my kids recover?
Place it under my butt .... shooooik sia!!

$2+ water cushion is cheap, so don't expect it to withstand your adult weight ... it can leak under HUGE pressure, especially when you sit on it frequently ...
