Poor Declan had an allergic reaction to something yesterday and broke out in hives all over his body. We took him to the pediatrician this morning and they think it's a reaction to the amoxicillin he has been taking for an ear infection. We stopped the antibiotic, but they want me to keep an eye on the foods I am eating in case the hives come back. There is a chance it could be an allergy to something I have eaten. The hives are better today, although he still has a few here and there. He seems fussy today. He has been fighting a nap for 5 hours which isn't like him. Hopefully it IS a reaction to the meds, because food allergies like eggs or dairy are much harder to deal with. I hope as the medicine leaves his system he will be back to normal.
The hives:
on his chin, forehead, cheek, thigh, arms...
leg, both arms, another shot of the ones on his face...
