New allergy

[pitter patter]

 DD had strep throat last week and was prescribed Amoxicillin.   She has had Amox several times before.   Well, this time she had a reaction.       Several hours after her first dose, she broke out in a rash all over her body.         I know that the rash could have been the strep, but who wants to take that chance??  I called the pedi immediately and she changed the Rx to Azithromycin.    I was up half the night watching her and making sure that she didn't get worse.  Her last drug reaction was to cough syrup and she had a really bad reaction.  Hives came and went for MONTHS!   It was a total nightmare.   Thank god her rash was gone after 2 days and never got any worse.    I HATE ALLERGIES!!  My nerves are shot.    Now I have to get her a new medic alert.
