Eep Kes! You’re worser off than I am! Rapid strep for me was positive on Thursday evening, and doc prescribed a burst of prednisone to help with the throat swelling (wonder drug) and then penicillin to kill the infection. Hubby got his culture back this morning (his rapid was negative Monday morning, he went in for starting to feel it this last weekend), and he didn’t get prednisone for his throat, but he did get penicillin, too. Oh, and somehow the 4-year-old managed to get a skin infection on his middle finger that wasn’t getting better after like a week, and the doc prescribed something for him to help that go away, and after a couple of days on that he’s looking better, too. The 6-month-old? He had shots on Monday, was cranky for a couple of days, but is better now. It’s been one hell of a month. I am feeling better (4 more days of penicillin), and Hubby is too. We only hope it stays that way. Thanks for all the well wishes. 🙂
Ear infections aren’t fun. I don’t remember them, but I had them often as a kid until I got tubes in my ears around age 9 (which I don’t remember). Hubby gets sinus infections every year, and those aren’t fun either. I hope you feel better soon, Kes, and that the doc’s wrong about not feeling better until after Christmas (that it’s before that you start getting better).
