I did not feel right about the nurses diagnosis over the phone last night about Cole having hives. Reason being that this morning he continued to get more of them. Hives don't keep popping up like that. We took him to the doctor tonight just to ease my mind in case it was just hives.
The doc was checking him out and when he got to Cole's throat it was confirmed. Cole has a bunch of red lesions and bumps in the inside of his mouth and throat! That would explain the appetite not being the best and Cole's constant need to eat ice cream and ranch dressing.
So there is nothing to treat it with. It is a virus that has to run its course. The grossest part about it is how it is transferred.....saliva or poop! Since Cole does not go to day care the most likely culprit is the shopping cart. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!
So just what I want to deal with being that a baby is right around the corner. Since I have been exposed the baby has my immunity to it which is great! Hopefully it goes away soon.
