We took Morgan in for her 4 year checkup/shots.
We reminded the Doctor that She was allergic to eggs...so she couldn't have any shots that contained it! (So she didn't receive the FLU shot.)
That night she was complaining that her legs hurt. But I just thought that it was normal to have some pain. So I rubbed them and she went to sleep. The next morning, (sat.) Morgan was getting in the bathtub...and her legs were huge! I couldn't believe it... I called and talked to a nurse at Kids care. I asked her if the shots Morgan received had eggs in them, she told me NO. She told me to draw a circle around the red area. And if it got any bigger to go into Kids care. So I watched it all day. The nurse also told us to give Benadryl and Tylenol/IB Profin. It didn't seem to get any bigger by the end of the day. (This whole time Morgan was complaining that her legs and stomach hurt. She ran a fever of 101 for two days.) But Sunday Morning, they had grown more. So I took her into InstaCare. I asked the Doctor if the shots she received contained eggs, but she assured me that they didn't. That Doctor gave me a prescription for something...I don't really know what it was, something to help infections. Monday morning, nothing had gotten better. The redness was beginning to go down to her knees. So I called the Doctor that had ordered the shots. I asked her to read me the box, so that I knew what was in them. Within a minute, the Doctor was telling me that one of them contained traces of eggs. WHAT THE HECK!! I asked 3 Doctors and they told me no...but if they just would've taken a second to read the box, no of this would've happened! I am so glad that Morgan didn't have a worse reaction...like anaphylaxis shock. So from now on, I am going to have the Doctors/Nurses bring me the box, so that I can read it myself! Super Frustrating!!
