My daughter had an injection of Kenelog for a rash that covered most of the right side of her body. At the time she was only 19 months old. A few weeks after the injection, I noticed a bluish color spot near her right hip area whe the injection was given. I first thought it was a bruise. It has been 7 months since the injection and the area has an indention, and has grown in size. It is now about 2" in diameter and continues to grow and is bluish in color. Like most, I was not told of any possible side effects. I am left to only imagine what her long term side effects will be. Will it continue to grow? Will it cause her pain? How can this medicine still be in use if these are the known side effects? How many others will have this injection without knowing the side effect? I guess I am angry because as a mother, it is my responsibility to take care of my daughter and now she has this area that I don't know if it will get better all because I was not told the possible side effects. If I had known, she would not have had the injection.

Most medications have some side effects. Before subjecting your baby to such as kenelog why did you not ask what the doctor was going to give her and what side effects if any you should be aware of. It is our responsibility to ask questions of our doctors and not wait until something happens and then ask why. Does this make sense? It does to me.
