Body Rash…Any IDEA?

Oh wow! I don’t know how I missed this. That seems like a nasty rash! Glad to hear that the prednisone cleared it up.

Just wondering, what did the doc mean by her being too young for antihistamines?

Alexis had the same rash, hives when she had an allergic reaction to sunscreen when she was 15 months old. We started her on Clariton syrup and prednisone and it soon cleared up, there was a few minor flare ups before it was completely gone. I guess with rashes and hives they say sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

Isn’t it okay to give eggs under a year (whites I think) or foods that contain eggs?…. I know, this probably makes me look like the worst mother of the year!

i’ve never heard that you shouldn’t give eggs under a year—-maybe things have changed since there seem to be so many more allergies these days. it seems to be the whites that are more of a problem—protein—yolks used to be recommended for babies.kevieb2007-5-15 11:49:30

eggs yolks at 9 months are okay….egg whites are very allergenic and should not be used under a year old.

well, lori, i’m sure you have her cholesterol under control!!

Thats what i have been told as well. good point about the vaccines…she hasn’t reacted to them, so maybe it wasn’t that!
