I hope you can skip completely, stay home and order pizza and watch movies and beg a family member to bring you leftovers. And I hope you find something that makes her feel better today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370512 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:19:41 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: it was pretty bad last night, not gonna lie. She only slept for an hour in our bed, woke up and freaked out and couldn't settle. So I gave her benadryl because basically, f*** this s***. And DH took her to her room in the recliner in there and she passed out. The benadryl knocked her out enough that he could move her to the crib. This was at like, 1am or so. She woke up crying twice after that. Dh just reassured her that he was there and to go to sleep. So he "slept" on the floor next to her crib. They're back in our bed now asleep. </p> <p>I have no idea what I'm going to do about taking her an hour away to my parents for dinner. Thinking about skipping and just me going with take out boxes. Ugh, this is so terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370477 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:29:22 +0000 MrsSRS 2370477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you had a better night than evening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370401 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:41:22 +0000 ALV91711 2370401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice. I hope you all get some sleep tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370400 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:41:01 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: finally rocked her to sleep and brought her to our bed! And she is still asleep so hopefully we can all go to sleep now. We've never had to Co sleep so this should be interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370392 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:59:53 +0000 MrsSRS 2370392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: :crying: :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370389 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:57:01 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: She hates the car, and won't transfer for us. DH got her to sleep, she was snoring even. And he put her in the crib and she flipped out and started screaming "Dada Dada where are you"</p> <p>Ugh. *knife in the heart* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370384 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:50:31 +0000 MrsSRS 2370384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I have no idea about combining the meds. You poor, poor things!! Will she cuddle and watch a movie or does she fall asleep in the car and transfer easily? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370378 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:46:52 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: I was thinking of trying that, but wasn't sure if motrin and her antibiotics and benadryl would be a bad combo. I just put eczema lotion on her feet and put socks over. Now she won't let us put her in her crib. She won't co-sleep either. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370373 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:41:45 +0000 MrsSRS 2370373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to avoid meds but sometimes rest is more important and it might help the itchiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370371 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:41:02 +0000 MrsSRS 2370371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh bummer. Benadryl maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370364 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 22:32:11 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: OK, thank you! We're currently still trying to get her to go to sleep. Even tried co-sleeping,but that didn't work. 1.5 hours and counting. :( she's so tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370332 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:46:02 +0000 MrsSRS 2370332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had hives from neck to toes with my first pregnancy and it really helped. That and keeping the room frigid were the only things that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370318 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:36:20 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: good to know about the cali baby lotion. Dh went to get oatmeal bath stuff. Maybe I should send him to get that lotion for tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370297 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:21:21 +0000 MrsSRS 2370297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Calamine lotion? Or California baby makes a calendula cream that is great for itchiness. I guess that doesn't help tonight. Being cold usually means less itchy so try cotton jammies and a cooler room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370292 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:16:13 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: yes, we started antibiotics last night so tonight was 24 hours. She's so miserable and trying to go to sleep but can't because she's so uncomfortable. It's heartbreaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370289 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:14:51 +0000 MamaBehr 2370289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I'm assuming she's on antibiotics for the strep, right? Hopefully she's a lot better in 24 hours. Poor little thing! I hope she sleeps ok for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370277 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:06:34 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: yes, she's extremely itchy! It's all around her mouth and starting to spread to her arms and legs. She started flipping out at bedtime with her footie pajamas because I think it was making her feet itch. She keeps rubbing her face too. Ugh its awful. </p> <p>We did an oatmeal bath and did some diaper free time while watching a movie. I'm just at a loss because she's never been so miserable before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370263 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:58:07 +0000 MamaBehr 2370263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: are the dots itchy? My guy had strep, but no rash. I would try a bath and then let it dry diaper free for awhile?<br /> That sounds awful, I hope she's feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strep-rash-treatment#post-2370030 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:23:11 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2370030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was diagnosed with strep yesterday and she's gotten a rash all around her mouth (treating with Aquaphor) and her bottom is getting big red dots too. I've been putting a ton of extra strength diaper cream on it, but she starts complaining 20 min later and rubbing her butt on the floor (like how a dog would itch. Funny, but not funny cause she's sick. Lol) </p> <p>My mom suggested baby powder, but I don't have any. Tried cornstarch, but that didn't help her. Is there anything else I could try? I'm thinking a bath might help. Tepid? Baking soda? Oatmeal? How exactly do you give a baking soda bath to a 22month old? </p>
