For about 14days my little man has suffered with what one doctor believed to be pneumonia and prescribed amoxocillin. This past Wednesday the 11th, he was still congested and by then had broken out in a rash...So PopPop(grandpa Mike) came to get us to take us to see the pediatrician. Dr. Nagle wasn't there, she was one vacation, so we saw Dr. Esham... she said the then spotty rash was a side effect of the antibiotic that he'd been taking but didn't need to be taking, because what he has is likely RSV(bronchilitis) which doesn't require antibiotics. Viruses are tricky things to treat. Does anyone know when babies get too "OLD" to get RSV? Carson's had bronchilitis or RSV twice now.
I sure hope after going back in on Friday because the rash had turned into this(see pictures above) that with daily does of benadryl it will fade and go away quickly-- Frankly this boy and his mama are getting tired of being cooped up. Carson misses and would like to play with his cousins.... anyone up for a play date after we get moved in May?

Poor guy! Hope things are clearing up!
Tanis broke out after having Amoxicillan the first time as well. We were actually out of town and I had no idea what was going on, but Shirley suspected it was the antibiotic and told me to quit giving it to him and it did clear up.
Sorry Carson's so sick. That's never fun!
