Cuticle infection

[my little penguin]

DS was dx with a mild cuticle infection.
He has had it for five days now and it hasn't gotten better with muripursin .

So...
Keflex for 10 days .
Waiting for Rheumo and GI to approve him to get Mtx and humira this week.
I assume it will be ok but was told to wait for the doc....
Mtx is due Thursday and humira Friday .

Add in the fun of figuring out miralax etc... While on abx .

Ughh...Hope it all works out and clears up fast. C used to pick at his cuticles and it would become inflamed. It hasn't happened in awhile.

EEE Gads, Hope it all works out quickly and no issues with getting Humira and MTX

That was the freaky part the skin is not broken at all no extra cuticle hang nails nothing.
The ped thought he may have jammed his finger on something which moved the skin back just enough to let stuff in

Any chance it a yeast infection?

Ugghh... hope it all clears up with no bumps in the road!!

Hope it clears up quickly. We had something similar happen to Caitlyn a long while back. I remember she needed antibiotics and it finally cleared up. Hopefully it will do the trick for him!

Rhuemo /gi ok'd the meds since it is not systemic /or a fever present .

Finger still puffy with three doses in

Really hope it clears up SOON!
Glad he's allowed to take his meds.

Has he been soaking it? I think soaks really help.

 

[my little penguin]

Yep soaking
Topical muripursin
Plus keflex
It doesn't look gross yet ( still mild ) which is why I am annoyed its not gone yet or at least better looking .

 

[xmdmom]

Well hopefully it will improve in another 24 hours.

Hope it looks better today. They gave the same reason for going forward with Jack's infusion. Last antibiotic down this morning for us
