Carol, I am so sorry you are all red and puffed up and hurting. One of the worst infections that my son got growing up was a secondary infection from a bug bite. His pediatrician told me that bug mouths were really nasty and that sometimes they actually infect you with germs. His bite was on the back of his hand and within 24 hours his hand was red, hot, and swollen up twice it's normal size. He was given a very powerful antibiotic.
I hope you get to feeling better real soon. Please be careful, and don't hesitate to call your doctor if you notice any changes.
Sending both you and Buddy lots of hugs. |
