Josiah went to the doctor on Friday. Mostly, so I could get a referral to a Allergy specialist. Thankfully, I was able to get the referral without a fight! So in a few weeks I'll have a professional opinion on Josiah's crazy rashes when he eats.
Josiah happened to have an ear infection so the doctor put him on Amoxil. Of course, Josiah is reacting to the Amoxil! His face was bright red and burnt from the medicine on Sunday evening. (I did get pictures on my mom's camera that I will try to post) Today, the skin on his bottom was totally red and raw. My normally good-natured baby was screaming from the pain when I changed him before bed. I took him to the doctor this afternoon for thrush and told the doctor about his reaction to the medicine, including excessive spit-up and diaherea, but the doctor didn't seem concerned. If he wakes up in pain, I will be taking him back in.
I added oatmeal to his diet last week, which seems to be going well. It's a little hard to tell with his medicine reaction, though, so I'm going to back off on the oatmeal and mostly do the rice cereal until he his done with his medicine. The doctor advised I stop feeding him the pears for now since they are in the Latex-Fruit family. Poor Josiah, he liked his pears.
