[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 53726"] Thanks everyone for your advice. I had been worried, but he just blows it off. I am wondering now if it wasn't 2nd degree sunburn when he went in the first time. He went in out of town because he could not even walk. He has scar's on his ankles he said is from the blisters. Wouldn't be the first time he was mis-diagnosed. When he was 16 he had bad sore throat and neck swelled up. doctor said, nope nothings wrong. That was a Friday. by Monday his whole head was swollen, like Herman Munster. I took him back and demanded they tell me what is wrong. He had Mono. Which was ofcourse passed on to difficult child who was 4 at the time. difficult child ended up hospitalized for a week due to complications. Still both of them test positive to Mono. I am told they always will. Last year easy child had a rash, itchy and painful all over his mid section. he went to a walk in clinic and they just blew it off as some type of allergic reaction. It got worse and he ended up going to ER. It was shingles. (he had no insurance then) So, I am real skeptical of the sunburn diagnosis since the swelling continues. I want him to come home and go to the doctor here. I want to go with because I know he won't ask them anything, but would they think it is odd for a parent to go with a 24 year old? Would they even allow it? [/QUOTE]
