Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Have any of you ever had a child that had this type of reaction to an antibiotic? Maddie was an cefzil-which she has taken many times as she responds well with it. at the end of the ten days she got a weird rash and then came on the severe joint swelling and pain. We have done a week of benedryl and steroids and she seems to be worse . Her sister did the same thing with a cephalosporin years ago-but Maddie has always been fine. This morning she has basically one big leg-no knee or ankle-her fingers were swollen at the beginning of the week but they are better now. She has stayed home one other day and went to school the rest-she just missed 10 days for something else. The doctor wants to see her today-and of course I can not take her as we are in the middle of kindergarten bound iep meetings-so my dad is going to take her. Any body else ever have this and what was the treatment? We are going on a week now with little improvement. Maddie is not one to complain of pain-so this has me worried.
