There is never a dull moment here. This round of teething isn't necessarily done, but it seems to have hit a less painful phase, so he has been in a much better mood the past couple days. Unfortunately, almost immediately a rash appeared, first on his chest and now basically everywhere. The doctor didn't think it was a food allergy, but had us stop the squash that Nicholas had begun a couple days earlier just in case. It doesn't seem to be bothering him and he doesn't have a fever, so neither we nor the doctor are very concerned. However, it also doesn't seem to be getting any better on its own and so we may need to go in to the pediatrician's office sometime in the next couple days.
The positive side to all this is that the rash appeared on a Sunday night and it is still only Tuesday. It seems things like this always usually appear on Friday nights or on holidays or right before a trip--any time it is difficult to get to a doctor.
This boy has had more skin issues than I knew existed. Although I guess in terms of a set of health issues to have, skin issues are one of the better ones.
Abby has a rash whenever new teeth are coming in - seriously. Diaper and stomach/chest. Weirdest thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know, Rob. I wonder if that is what is going on here too. He didn't have one with the first set, but this set seem to be bothering him more in general. I guess we'll find out when the next set come in . . . you know, in 2 weeks.
