strep throat and weight loss

[Guest guest]

I took my 16 month old to the doctor today and not only does she have

strep throat but she lost a pound!!! She's only 17 lbs. 14 oz.

This is very scary!!!

The foods she is on are not caloric enough I know--chicken, chicken

broth, pears, avocados and green beans, but I am still waiting for the

darn IgE results to come back so I can see if she can have dairy, nuts,

eggs, etc.

Luckily I had spoken to Jody and I got her the Bicillin (spelling?)

shot instead of oral antibiotics, but now she seems very hyper--did

anyone else have that reaction?

I'm really getting scared now. Please advise?
