Hi everyone.
Well last night my 2 month old DS was not himself. I knew something was wrong though my family thought I worry way too much. But he was not himself at all. He was really cranky, wouldn't eat, couldn't be consoled, was tired but wouldn't sleep, his eyelid was really red and swollen and his eye was leaking alot, and had a fever. So we went to the hospital and we were admitted for the night. His fever went down without any medication after about 5-6 hours. It was in the mid 100's but not up to a point that he needed any medication yet. Then this morning his eyelid was back to normal. The doctor told me that he will probably run a bit of a fever tonight but to wait it out at home until/or if it gets to the high 100's low 101. Although I was told by my doc to go into the hospital at 99.5. Anyway we have been home all afternoon and now his eye is starting to swell again this last hour. They did a bunch of blood work last night and took x-rays and swabs. The doc today told me that the swab of his eye wouldn't be ready until late tonight early tommorow to see if there is an infection. I don't want to go back to the hospital if I can help it but I don't know what is wrong with my son. I have only had 2 hours sleep. I kept dreaming in that time that my son was allergic to fish? Weird. I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow so I feel a little better. So my question is this. Could my son be allergic to something at home? If so why does it kick in at night? Could it be an eye infection? Could it be something else? Has anyone experinced anything like this? He has had a blocked tear duct since birth but has not had this reaction before. Is this just a result of the blocked tear duct? Thanks everyone, Sherri
