We made it 7 1/2 years without any of the kids ever having an ear infection. Ashlyn came into our bed one night complaining that her ear was hurting her. She was crying and in a lot of pain all night. I took her into Instacare in the morning and sure enough she had and ear infection. The doctor gave her a prescription for Amoxicillin and we started to give it to her. She was feeling much better the next day and I continued to give it to her all week. Seven days into her 10 day course of antibiotics she started to get a rash. I wasn't sure it was a reaction to the medication because she had already been on it for a week.
Throughout the day her rash was getting progressively worse. I decided to take her to the Doctor. Sure enough she was allergic to the Amoxicillin. They gave her a shot of steroids and her rash was almost completely gone in two hours after her injection.
Her Back
The back of her legs, poor girl!
