Ongoing Sinus Infection after mos of abx and 4 ivigs?

How old is she?

 

Also, you can go to google images and pull up pics of anal strep so you can compare the rash. I once did that, and there's ones of a baby's bottom so you're not looking at an adult's bottom or anything.

 

 

 

Ok, my dd just went to the bathroom...Iwanted to check out her stools (which I do from time to time, just to be sure no abnormal) and I got a really good look at her bottom and I SEE A RED RASH ALL OVER IT!!! Is this a yeast rash?? I have never seen this before, but then again it's been a long time since I have glared at her bottom. Is this the culprit of the sinus problem?? Ironically, I just bumped up the probiotics this afternoon on all your input of "maybe yeast." What do you all think?

How old is she?

 

She just turned 10 last week. I checked her bottom out this morning, still red and rashy...she was itching it...I put some triple paste on it for now to see if it helps. I took a few good pictures of it.

Just as an update, I found an old tube of Desitin in the cabinet and rubbed some on her bottom...almost all gone within 24 hours...just a few raised red dots now. I did not know Desitin worked on yeast or strep....maybe it was prickly heat? Well, I have a pic of it to show and tell next time we see the immunologist. The sniffling is gone, too...I will watch it and see if this pattern continues. BTW, I now have a huge cold myself and I wonder if hers was so mild it looked like a sinus infection, which may mean that the IVIG lessened the severity of the cold. (?)

My nearly 9 year old gets that ( a prickly heat type rash) when he starts to outgrow his underwear. At that age, kids don't think of telling parents they are getting tight. Consider getting her some new ones and getting a size up.
