Carlos got stung by a bee yesterday afternoon, in the hand. It did the usual hurting and swelling that came down with Benadryl and ice. Around 4:30 this morning, though, he was miserable. It was itching, hot and very swollen.
We had speech therapy this morning at Harrison in Silverdale, and dropped down to the ER to have it looked at. With his past history with bee stings (click here for that story) I was worried. The doctor said it was getting infected and put him on antibiotics. Seems like we’ve done this with Carlos not so long ago. I don’t tend to trust the Harrison ER so we made an appt with our pediatrician’s office for this afternoon. Second opinion was that it was an allergic reaction, to continue with the Benadryl, ice and elevation and see how it is tomorrow.
Fingers are crossed that poor Carlos gets a break!
