My Little Leper

Poor kiddo, she looks like a leper. The amoxicillin rash has spread even more. The skin-to-rash ratio is about 1:1 now. The benadryl's not doing much. Neither is the oatmeal bath.

Is oatmeal bad for the plumbing?

The doctor says to wait it out. Waiting sucks. Poor kid...

  1. Poor kid indeed! When I saw her today, my heart went out to her! B & I said a prayer for her--hope she feels better soon!

    1. Thanks! I think the oatmeal bath helped, the rash is big and pink instead of big and red. She'll be happy to know that B is praying for her!

  2. Waiting is tough, but there isn't much else you can do other than the benadryl and oatmeal baths (I've had so many rashes that I ought to know!). At least she's little enough and it's warm enough that she doesn't have to have clothes on top of it. That was always my dilemma - look like a leper, or cover it and itch!

    1. Painting C in an oatmeal paste seemed to have the best effect. She definitely looks better today. Poor kid...
