Infected Ear

We took Caleb into the Urgent Care on Wednesday night...turns out he had cellulitis (infection in his ear cartilage) resulting from a bug bite over the weekend. They gave him 750milligrams of Rosephrin and was prescribed Keflex that night. We went to our Primary Care doctor and they gave him ANOTHER 500 milligrams of Rosephrin.

Poor Caleb. Apparently this shot burns on it's way in...and this needle was HUGE. He was such a brave boy...he kept saying "This is for my big ear??....is it still big??" The primary care DR took him off Keflex and onto another antiobiotic with a $50 topical treatment cream for the rest of his bug bites.

Caleb was SOOO brave and good. He even learned how to wiggle the big infected ear for the nurses and had them all oohhing and ahhing over him.
