Seriously. Cooper is off the antibiotic due to a possible allergic reaction. Not sure which antibiotic it is that bothered him though. He was given a dose of augmiten in the ER and then has had one dose of zithiromax at home because the insurance didn't cover the augmiten. Yesterday, I notice some small red bumps on his tummy. I remember thinking "hum, wonder what that is?" I thought it might be from the cold weather as my skin is awful this time of year. Then this morning, his chest and tummy is covered in little raised red bumps. It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look good either. Thing is, I can't remember when I noticed the bumps yesterday, if it was before or after giving him the dose of the zithiromax. So who knows which one is causing the reaction; it could be both. I called the ER where he was seen, and they said to dc the antibiotic and see the pedi tomorrow. Urg!
He seems to be feeling better. He is much more himself and is no longer running a fever. He is coughing a lot now and is wheezing some. But, that is a good thing I suppose; he is breaking that junk up. His reflux is really flared up. This is so frustrating. Why could he have not been doing that during the probe. I am really worried that it wasn't a very accurate account of his reflux because he was so sleepy. I'm sure it will be fine though. His meds should kick back in soon and he will be feeling better. Anyway, it has been a week!
