Diana has been battling an illness all week, low grade fever and cough. Friday, she woke up at 5 am having a hard time breathing. I thought for sure she had croup again but when I got a better look at her around 6:30 am, I realized she was covered in a rash. I assumed it was roseola. Friday afternoon I decided to call the doctor and she said there is a virus going around that is similar to croup but has a rash. Since it is viral there isn't anything to be done so unless symptoms get worse, Diana will just need to fight this off. However, as I was laying in bed last night I thought to myself, she was on amoxicillin for an ear infection about a week ago and I believe that is the first time she has been on amoxicillin. Jonathan is allergic to amoxicillin and I remember something similar happening to him. What I read about it, there is a rash that can be caused by amoxicilin. It doesn't necessarily mean they are allergic but it is definitely a known side effect. So who knows what she has! She hasn't been sleeping well and has been a little grumpy. Today is the first day where she started eating better. Hopefully she will feel better soon!
