wwyd re: Doctor or No Doctor

Connor has bug bites on his face/forehead/near ears that have swelled up and are now enormous. His eyes are swollen, he looks like he's been in a fight.

He's miserable... and uncomfortable b/c he keeps rubbing and scratching the areas.

I tried having him put some ice on the worse areas, but he won't keep it on too long. I haven't given children's benadryl yet, bc now I'm wondering should I do a Dr visit since its all over his face or just try meds first?

Note:: I've never given my kids benadryl

    this, good luck and I hope he feels better :)
  • swollen and uncomfortable means a trip to the doc in my book. 

    If it was just bites I'd say try the benadryl gel but swelling would make me nervous

  • benadryl.  that would make the swelling go down.
  • call your doc if you didnt already.  benadryl may do the trick the thing is they only need a very little dose- so you should ask your doc what it is.  we gave it to sue once (last year) and i think the dose was like 1/8 a teaspoon.  i thought how could so little help but it worked.
