Guest guest Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 So..it appears the Donovan (11, CVID, asthma) has coxsackie. It was strange, bc I was worried about my younger son (9, cvid, asthma) when over the weekend he developed that awful croupy cough and couldnt catch his breath. Sunday night, Donovan had a slight cough, so when I made an appt for Brennan on Monday, I went ahead and made one for Donovan as well. At the time I made the appt, he had a slight cough and complained of a lumpy throat. So I took both boys in yesterday, and while its sinopulmonary crap as ususal for Brennan, the dr shined a light in Donovans throat to show me....I dont know. Its the weirdest looking thing...like a bright red petechaiel (sp?) rash all over the roof of his mouth and back of throat. His temp went from nonexistant to 100 to 103 in less than 8 hours. His throat is so incredibly swollen and painful he cannot swallow, and the drs given him Tylenol #3 for the throat pain. If he breaks out in any other rash, or bleeds from anywhere, he needs to go straight back in. He woke up this morning at 3, feeling dizzy and unable to swallow, great drops of tears running down his face. I felt so sorry for him. I wish IVIG was this week, its not till the 15th. Im trying to keep him isolated in the bedroom, as I have two other kids with CVID in this house and I cant imagine what it would be like if they all got it. valarie mom to 3 w/cvid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
