Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis
Hi,
My daughter has had a cough for a few weeks now. She has been to a dr a couple of times and given antibiotics. She woke up yesterday with red spots (some raised, some not) covering her entire body. I took her to the ER and they said she was misdiagnosed and has bronchitis and an infected bronchile tube which had brought out the bronchitis causing the red spotsThey prescribed her medicine and today when she woke up, the spots were worse and are now itchy whereas yesterday they were not itchy. Is this normal?

Hello dear,
Thank you for your question.
In my opinion, the nature of the red spots may suggest an allergic reaction from the antibiotics. In order to create the right idea, I would like to ask you a few questions:
-What type of antibiotic has your daughter taken?
-Did the ER doctors prescribe a different antibiotic or the same one?
-Can you describe the shape, dimensions and location of the red spots? Do they disappear if you press them shortly?
For the moment I would suggest to consider discontinuing the antibiotics and consult a doctor.
I hope this helped.
Best wishes,
Dr. Alma
