Grant had been sick last week. You know the cold funk... We tried to treat with Benadryl but it didn't help. He continued to cough and have a nasty green snotty nose. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday and she heard a little rattle in his chest. She prescribed an antibiotic that he hasn't had before, Suprax. On Thursday, Boomer noticed little red bumps around his little groin and thought it was a diaper rash...he failed to mention to me!:) So on Friday after his party I changed him and I noticed red spots on his upper thigh and around his groin. They were probably the size of a mosquito bit after you have scratched the mess out of it and has swollen up! I continued to look on him for more and saw that they were running up his sides. I immediately called the doc. She said it was probably an allergic reaction to the medicne and to stop giving it to him and to give him Benadryl every 6 hrs. So I did. WELL....Saturday morning, we woke up to this... Large welps all over him about the size of quarters and half dollars that were connecting so they looked ENORMOUS!
I totally freaked out!!! So I called the doc and would you believe it took them an hour and thirty min. to get back with me. I'm glad his air supply wasn't cut off!!! Any way the doc looked at it and reassured me that it was the medicne that he had been taking and she gave him an oral dose of decodron (or however you spell it! Creative phonetic spelling!!) Thankfully by the end of the day it had begun to fade somewhat. It looks so much better today.
