Antibiotic Allergies

I'm not sure what relationship antibiotic allergies may have to Becca's celiac disease, but we now know she is allergic to zithromax AND to penicillin. Needless to say, it was an unpleasant second day of antibiotic usage at our house. She had hives and itching that were barely relieved with Benadryl.

So they switched her to Cefdinir, and so far so good. I know I said that in the last post, but we're farther in this time. The Cefdinir is also being fairly kind to her tummy (big bonus there).

The symptoms of the strep throat are gone now too, so we are just finishing the round of antibiotics to be good little patients. PB would like to offer a big "thank you" to all her well wishers!
