Poor little Ollie has been very ill since Thanksgiving. He came down with double ear infections, double pink eye, a fever, and a bad cold.
So the Dr. put him on antibiotics. But, after 2 weeks he still wasn't better. So they put him on stronger antibiotics. A week later, and a day after his birthday, he woke up with hives all over him. It was so scary looking. We thought he had the measles or fifth's disease. But, we rushed him to the Dr. and they just told us it was hives. It's possible that it's a reaction to the antibiotics. But, it's also possible that it's totally non-related. They just couldn't tell us.
The poor boy was miserable and itchy. And his fever came back in a big way. He couldn't sleep so Daddy and I took turns rocking him and trying to soothe him. No fun at all. But, after some Benadryl, he is slowly looking better.

i couldn't help but notice the hives and that was caused by the antibiotic you need to find out / remember what was given to him because this is a bad reaction to the medicine and he needs to avoid it. as for a fever get some ice in a bag wrap in a towel and place around his neck it will cool the blood that is rushing through his neck and it will cool his body.
