Amazing

Last week, my coworker's daughter was sent home from school with a sore throat. They took her to the doctor who said it was nothing more than strep throat and prescribed antibiotics. A few days later, she is worse crying how bad her throat hurts. Take her to the doctor again. Since it is her boyfriend taking her, my coworker calls up the hospital to give permssion for them to treat her and faxes the insurance information. They call it is a very bad case of strep throat and prescribe medicine. After a couple days, her daughter is screaming in pain and her jaw is swollen. Take her to the emergency room and they are convinced it is more than a strep throat. The do blood tests and an MRI to see what is goign on with her.

It is a staph infection combined with strep. She got the staph infection from losing a tooth and it worked its way down the adult tooth pushing up. They had to take her to a dentist to deal with the tooth infection. Poor girl. Post later. Bye!
