We found out yesterday Roman had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics he was taking for a double ear infection. He was on day #7 of Cefprozil (Cefzil). His sister, Ava, is allergic to the other class of antibiotics, amoxicillin/penicillin. It's no fun finding out this way...

1) I sure feel for the poor little guy. That's how I found out I was severly allergic to penicillin. At least I was a little older though and halfway understood.

3) We found out that Brennan was allergic to Septra a couple of weeks ago. Looks like she had the same symptoms as Roman.

5) Awwww poor little fella! He looks like he's still smiling under there though! Did it not show up at all until day 7?

6) Ames, yes... he had 2 doses a day for 7 full days and I noticed it the next morning (would have been day 8). Same thing happened when my daughter had a reaction to penicillin.

7) I didn't realize it could take so long for a reaction to surface. That stinks. Poor buddy. As if the double ear infection wasn't enough.

8) I know. He's definitely had a rough winter.

When I took Ava in two years ago when she had her reaction, my ped said it was a "classic case" of a penicillin reaction. He said either it shows ups right away with someone that has a severe reaction or about 7-9 days for someone like my daughter. Who knew, huh?
