antiobiotic allergies

Gina,
Maybe we are on to something. Caitlyn also has severe reactions to platelet transfusions but I know this is not rare. Many people do. We found that she develops high fevers and starts to convulse when she gets Benadryl even if the Benadryl is clear. So, when she gets a reaction the only thing that hasn't given her a problem is Tylenol Severe Allergy. It makes her tired but at least she doesn't spike a 105 degree temp and convulse. We have tried Claritin and solumedrol(sp?) and others. She does get reactions but they aren't as bad as the one with Benadryl. So, maybe it isn't just antiobiotics...maybe it is many medications.
Thanks, Amy
