Strep, a rash and getting 1 year molars

Nathan spent all last night screaming violently. We gave him tylenol, and I even slept with him downstairs. The time he did sleep, he tossed and turned and cried. The rest of the time he spent screaming, and arching his back in pain.  So off to the doctor we went this morning and my poor little guy has strep throat. Strep throat! Can you believe it?! So he is on Amoxicillin.

He also has a rash that covers his head and torso. It is a reaction to the MMR vaccination that he got at his 1 year appointment. I really hope the rash clears up quickly. His doctor told me to give himChildren's Benadryl to help with the itching. It is hard to see his rash on these pictures but he is covered in red dots.

He is also getting his 1 year molars. The left side is ready to pop through any day. So he is getting Ibuprofen at night to help with that. Poor medicated bubs!





"Itchy, itchy head mom!"
