just returned from the ER with son Christopher. Migraines, severe stinging sensations in scalp, nausea... cat-scan revealed a sinus cavity within bone to have a deeply embedded infection. Two weeks of antibiotics prescribed. The stinging symptom remains highly peculiar, though.

God, please embrace Christopher and give him the strenth and fortitude to fight these infections and all others for all of time..

In Agreement, in Jesus' Name

prayers continue for him

May God's healing had rest upon him.

Prayer sent for a speedy recovery.

wheel,

It sounds very painful. I hope he feels better soon.

How old is your son?

Please make sure to take your son to the pediatrician as well.

ER Doctors are not the end of care, they should just be the beginning. Did he recieve IV antibiotics (injection or drip)?

Thanks haon; yes, ped is on the list. no IV. 14 day scrip for "cefnidir" (sp?) 2x/day. Neuro is on list as well.

now that I think of it, the stinging scalp symptom was never addressed...

prayers sent.

Neo - you might want to add eye doc and an allergy specialist to the list as well.

spent most of my teen years fighting massive migraines. Turns out they were mostly triggered by an allergic reaction to grass.

if the headaches continue, have your son keep a record of when they happen, what he was doing, what he ate, what he drank, where was he, etc.

I never found a cure for the headaches (still get them now and then), but I have learned to recognize the early warning signs and some triggers so that I can "control" them.

hoping and praying that the headache is the result of the infection and nothing else.

best wishes Neo, truly saddening to hear.

Prayers for you and your family.

Yes, we've been keeping a headache diary for several weeks now, since the onset. Seems they went away when antibiotic was prescribed for an ear infection; but that scrip was for only 5 days; cleared the ear, but the headaches returned. Hopefully, a 14 day protocol will blast it out completely. But I'll still not rest easy... we'll pursue every avenue we can for as full assurance as we can get.

Thanks, beloved.
