Remember this post about Laney's bug bite last month? Well, we had a repeat, kind of, not as severe but definitely another reaction. She woke up last Friday morning and immediately showed me her hand when I got her out of her crib.
This was her hand at breakfast. It was definitely red and swollen but again, not affecting her daily activity or happy demeanor at all.
Adam had gotten home early this Friday and after talking about it, we were still worried about it enough for me to take her to urgent care. Our main concern was infection and with our experience last month, we thought it would be best to get another opinion and have it documented.
So at 4:30 on Friday afternoon, Laney and I headed to Urgent Care. Luckily we were the only ones there so we were seen right away.
Here is her hand at Urgent Care. The redness had lightened up but it was definitely still swollen. Doc confirmed no infection and definitely another allergic reaction. For future issues like this we will stick to Benadryl and keep a close eye on it for infection. She gave me some key signs that point to infection and when to be worried. We don't know what bug she is allergic to....maybe ant bites?? She has other bug bites on her legs and they are normal looking bites. Right now we are just thankful that it's a mild reaction and nothing severe!
