Well now both of the girls can’t take penicillin drugs. Poor Jillian picked a Saturday evening (9/5) to get sick for the first time ever and to make it worse our wonderful pediatrician was on vacation the whole week after. She saw an idiot at the walk-in Saturday night (told me her doctor should have given her an antibiotic just because her siblings had strep! and when the quick strep test he did was negative he didn’t do a lab culture) but she had a 102 temp and I agreed to the antibiotic even though the strep was negative because she was so out of it and sick. Then when she got a rash Tuesday morning I knew it was an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin  but the on-call doctor I saw didn’t agree and told me to keep giving the Rx to her. I stopped giving it to her Wednesday when I realized I was right that she was allergic. I took her yesterday to her real doctor and of course she agreed that it was definitely a penicillin allergy. She said the rash is still here despite benedryl because of how many doses she had before I stopped giving it to her. These pictures are from yesterday, poor baby is COVERED in rash. Its even been on her palms and feet, pretty much at one point or another every inch of her had it. Luckily the benedryl helps  and it should be out of her system soon.
