So dh just got off the phone with the after hours nurse.
DS1 has broken out in hives all over his cheeks, arms, chest/stomach and back
and we dont know why
The only time he has broken out was when he was given dairy. Well he is on soy milk and not be given anything dairy!
i dont get it
we did everything she suggested
benadryl..........didnt work
warm bath.........didnt work
the only thing he has had out of the normal is amoxicillin which was prescribed to him by his pedi. He has been fighting a bad cold for over 2 weeks now
NOW DH is allergic to anything Cillin. He is thinking the baby has the same allergy but he hasnt had it since last night so that wouldnt affect him now would it????????
ugh i just dont know what to think
DH took him to urgent care and im worried as hell
DH JUST CALLED ME!!!!!!! ITS WORSE NOW THEN IT WAS BEFORE HE BROUGHT HIM IN! THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED IT BUT THEY ARE LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT DOSE OF BENADRYL TO GIVE HIM!
I CALLED THE PHARAMSIST AND THERE IS NO LACTOSE IN THE MEDICATION
SO I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE 12/31
Dh called the pedi this morning and talked to the nurse. She agrees that it sounds like an allergic reaction to Ammxicillin.
She is going to talk to the pedi and then call us back!
The hives have gone away. Thankfully
Hope they figure it out soon. Hope he is feeling better too.
im crying harder now!

Quoting mommysangelface:
I am confused was your child sick when they gave him antibiotics or not? I agree with strawberry cool on this one unless the child is sick why would they give him meds and can you explain what it is your LO was born with? So they give your child meds every time someone in the house is sick bc of what he was born with- do they not know that eventually his body will get immune to the antibiotics.
Cillin family stems from penicillin ... So he's allergic to penicillin.
Quoting mommysangelface:this is the 2nd time he has been on it
dh is allergic to anything in the cillin family.
Quoting fullxbusymom:Yup it is an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin NOT pennicillin but just to the Amox.
Usually shows up the 2nd or 3rd time they are put on it and usually shows about a week after starting it.
LOOK.....he has been through so much already and always comes through just fine and dandy. He will be fine this time also
STOP CRYING..................Don't make me go Font 7....these Newbies will freak out, lol
