She said to bathe him in medicated shampoo a couple times a week until it cleared up and then once a week and she put him on a low dose of prednisone for a couple of weeks and he's also on an antibiotic. I don't know what caused it with Jo...it seems to happen when he has too much oil like in a supplement or fish based food or something like that. He's now on a prescription diet to rule out food allergies.
I hope your baby will be feeling better soon. |
what food diet is he on? If you give an antibiotic give a probiotic (dds plus-from lassens- acidopholus, biffidus and fos) - antibiotics kill all good and bad bacteria so dds plus is putting the good bacteria back in - do this 30 minutes before breakfast. My dd has severe allergies
