Spotted Aidan

Spots on his face...

Can you see them on his tummy?

Last week Aidan had a sniffle. So I took him to the doctor. It was determined that he probably had eczema, a virus and an ear infection. The doctor prescribed amoxicillin. This was on Saturday. The prescription called for a ten day dosage. The following Saturday we noticed all of these little spots all over Aidan's body. We assumed an allergic reaction. We kept an eye on it, but didn't go to the doctor. I stopped giving Aidan amoxicillin. We started to think it was maybe the measels because throughout the day there were more spots, darker in red color and Aidan started to act lathargic. So early Monday morning we call to get into the doctor. We are able to go in the next morning. Throughout our consultation the doctor determines that it is either a strep rash or an allergic reaction. The doctor is leaning toward an allergic reaction because if it was a strep rash the way to treat it would be with an antibotic like amoxicillin. We do a little throat swab and wait. The test comes back clean, no strep. He then prescribes a different kind of antibotic, azoybasdlkfjqasljdtin. ( I have no idea what it is called but it starts with the letter A and has a Z in it.) We give him his first dose that night, the next morning an improvement is the coloration, the size of the spots and Aidan energy level. Yay!
