Just say no to Amoxicillin!
Jameson had his first ear infection on our trip, a double ear infection! So we found a doc there and she prescribed the usual and after the first night’s improvement we were thanking the Lord for antibiotics. Then about a week passed and J broke out in a full body rash! He seemed fine other than the pimples all over his body so we were a bit perplexed on why this was happening… well, my mom shed some light… She said that Jess had the exact reaction with amox and it turned out that she was allergic to it! So we stopped the dosage and the doc here at home prescribed something new and says we’ll wait a while and try it again in a few years to be sure it was a reaction and not just a side effect. Check out our little leper… who is fine now!
Still a happy boy!

that’s exactly what happened to jackson after his double ear infection, our doc said it was fifth disease also know as slapped cheek syndrome. Crazy right we stopped the antibiotics still not sure if it was an actuall allergic reaction or not! Just wanted to share!

yep- it’s like Jessica, altho projectile vomitting accompanied the rash- fun! – so they hospitalized her- clearly we now have proof it is a gift from your dad.

OH! Poor baby! I know how he felt! (The same thing happened to me, only I was in High School… it was TERRIBLE!)
