Rash Update


I took Sophie in to see her 'regular' doctor on Thursday. This appointment was to follow up on her ear infection, but of course now, we had to follow up on her rash also. It has cleared up a lot since Monday. Here is what we found out from Dr. Patel...
Ear infection is gone. Yea! Rash could be caused from 3 things: 1. Virus, 2. Reaction to the MMR vaccine that she had gotten two weeks ago, or 3. Allergic reaction to the Amoxycillin she was taking for the ear infection. It is hard to really pinpoint what it was since she just had the vaccine and she just started the medicine on the same day. To be on the safe side, we are saying that she IS allergic to Amoxycillin until we can test her for it when she is 5 or 6ish.
