Sudden swelling of finger joints (like in 30 minutes)

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

Anyone have their kid start complaining of itching on

their knuckles and itching between their fingers, then

within 30 minutes their hands be bright red (and

white) and burning w/swollen joints?

It was wierd, and it went away in less than an hour

(except for tight sensation in knuckles - still

getting better too) after Benedryl.

I'm wondering if it's post-infectious (he's been sick

10 days) or if it's a reaction to Omnicef that he

started yesterday afternoon. It would be wierd to

take an antibiotic at around 5pm yesterday and then

have a spontaneous reaction to it at 10:30 the next

morning though. I'm just struggling to decide whether

to give it again or not. I don't want to be up at the

doctor 3rd time this week (over Spring Break no less

) without there being any obvious symptom remaining.

Anyway - just wondering if anyone else has had that.

Thanks-
