She actually has mono. One of the known complications with mono is that if you take a penicillin, you can end up with an allergy-like reaction - full-blown hives, swelling, etc.. She's now on Prednisone as well as Benadryl/Claritin.<br /><br />Next time I'll make sure to ask for a throat swab or blood test before accepting antibiotics. <br /><br />I'm still going to have Emily tested for allergies, however, just to be sure. Don't want to mess with drug allergies.<br /><br />Emily started feeling worse, so we ended up at the ER. Based on the coincidence of sore throat + antibiotics + rash, the doctor at the ER did a blood test, which confirmed mono. (I think he was pretty sure even before the bloodwork came back.) He said she could go back to school anytime now, but that he would be inclined to let her stay home if she was feeling crappy. My sentiments exactly. Knowing Emily, I think she would go bonkers if I made her stay home for 6 weeks.Wordfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953425796249652505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966747504559676498.post-47668465608277495522010-10-02T21:23:11.348-04:002010-10-02T21:23:11.348-04:00Yikes!!
