This is Hudson's ear after the shot in the butt. It was gross & huge and red before the shot, but thankfully it started to get better very quickly. Today we saw the pediatrician & they think it is cellulitis. Basically a deep skin bacteria that enters through an open wound. They are treating him for the bacteria with a broad spectrum antibiotic & for a possible bug bite reaction with an anti-histamine. He is already looking much better. We go back on Monday to make sure the infection is gone. Is winter over yet?
