Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 If she is still this sick tomorrow, I will take her in. Usually Dr. has her take tamiflu as soon as possible. thanks. I hate to see her sick, but I have to say, this has been her best year ever. She had a cold in Oct. and one day of stomach bug in Dec, and that is IT since last summer. It just kind of freaked me out to happen right after IG. valarie > > > From: osdbmom <osdbmom@...> > Subject: IG reaction? > > Date: Wednesday, February 16, 2011, 4:42 PM > > > Â > > > > Hi, > Savannah (13, cvid, asthma) has been on monthly IVIG for about five years. When we first started, she had trouble with the certain product, and we had to fiddle with the rate, she needs it really slow. Usually she would feel achy and throw up. When we switched to Gammagard, she has never had another reaction in five years. > We have not changed her rate, product, or amount anytime lately. She had allegra and tylenol as premeds today. > She felt fine during infusion, slept on the drive home, which is about 70 miles, and upon walking back in the house told me, tearfully, that she had a terrible headache and had all the way home. Her cheeks looked rosy, so I took her temp and she had a temp of 100.5. > I called our infusion nurse back and she said to give her two tylenol or motrin and benedryl if I had it, just in case, and of course, if her chest felt tight or the headache worsened to take her to ER. She said that also, it could be that she had something going on, like a virus or something, and the IG could be fighting it, and cause this. > Two hours after giving two 200mg motrin and 25 mg benedryl, her headache is slightly better, but her temp is up to 101.6, and her throat hurts (hurts like sore and scratchy, NOT tight). > > My older daughter had some virus over last weekend, that was just a fever and achiness that lasted a few days. Her fever wasnt this high and there was no sore throat, but I wondered if maybe she could be coming down with that, just at a coincidental time. > > thoughts? > > valarie > mom to 3 w/cvid > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
