Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Had Maddie in the ER at Children's Hospital today. Her fever still hasn't subsided all the way. Granted, it's a low grade fever, but I was still concerned. After calling her orthopedist, they told me to call the pediatrician, and after I called the pediatrician, they told me to call the orthopedist. Finally the ped told us to go to the ER and get it checked. The infection looks better, but the ER docs thought her Keflex dosage was too low to totally kill the infection. So, they upped her Keflex to four times a day and added Bactroban ointment to apply directly to the sore. She goes back to the ortho tomorrow to get impressions done for the s. i feel bad for the kid. They wanted to rule out a UTI, so they had to catheterize her. She's had a rough go of it, but hopefully the s will help. Thanks for listening. - Michele 5/18/02 and Maddie 9/6/05 bcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
