I have never heard of Roseola but grandson has a case of it.
He ran a fever of 105.0 at the ER last night then developed a rash all over his little body. Poor little fellow was stuck 6 times trying to draw blood. We were told at the ER he had a virus. He was given Rochepin which does NOTHING for a virus!
He did not sleep much last night and ran a fever even with tylenol and IBU.
I took him to peds today and the doctor said Braydon has the Roseloa virus and proceeded to ask me why he was given Rochepin. . What do I look like, a doctor? Then the doctor turns around and orders another Rochepin shot for Braydon. WTH!!!!
When someone takes alot of antibiotics and does not need it, what will eventually happen is when they do have a bad infection and need it then the antibiotics will not be able to fight the invaders!
I asked the doctor why he was ordering it then since Braydon has "virus" Doc said he had to give it since Braydon was given it in the ER. BOLOGNA!
He then said he had to order the shot because he was waiting on blood culture from the ER visit to rule out a bacterial infection in Braydon's blood.
I THINK IT IS TIME TO FIND A NEW DOCTOR!
Now Braydon has diarrhea! Constantly sick! Time to change another runny diaper.
Bye!
