I am getting pretty frustrated!??<\/p>\n
Went to the pediatrician and he agreed with the ER Dr. that it is most likely viral but he drew blood for a food an environment allergy test as well.?? He said that the test will probably come back negative because of the high dosages of steroids he is on and so he will probably have to be retested once we get through all this and he is off the steroids just to rule out food allergies.?? He also added Zyrtec to his daily regime and told me to use the Benadryl if he had break through.<\/p>\n
So Tanner had done really well all day until the last half hour.?? He had Benadryl at 4:00 and by about 7:00 he started getting symptametic.?? Once it starts, it tends to get aggressive.?? He looks worse than this mornings pictures right now.?? He was itching and again begged for benadryl early.?? I am suppossed to be going 6 hours instead of 4 but I know better than to wait considering what he looks like right now.?? He isn’t due for more steroids, zyrtec, or zantac until 9:00 PM (technically midnight but Dr. said I could administer early tonight).?? Good grief!!!!?? I gave him two tsps of Benadryl just now and hopefully in another hour he will be doing better.?? It seems to take the Benadryl at least 60 to 90 minutes to have much of an effect.<\/p>\n
As for the strep infection….the Dr. did mention that and looked at his throat.?? He said the throat looked fine and didn’t look any further for strep.?? So Kristy…how did you find out your kids had strep infections if they had no throat symptoms and their throats looked fine??? Since both you and Sarah have now said this and the Dr. mentioned it as well, I have to wonder.?? IF it is a strep infection but not localized in his throat, is he on the right drugs do you think??? I don’t see any sores on his body that look infected.?? What else would I look for??? This is crazy.<\/p>\n
One reason I don’t think it is strep is because he was symptomatic of a stomach flu virus – not strep AND…has not had a single fever – not even last week during his stomach flu.?? I was checking for that.<\/p>\n
Also, I just noticed one eye is getting bloodshot like he is getting the rash on the eyeball itself.??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
