back 1-1/2 yr post- tonsilectomy

[Guest guest]

The fevers are back. Our son had a T & A about 2 years ago which

resulted in a wonderful respite from until the fevers came

back a few months ago. Before the T & A, our son suffered from

episodes every 4-6 weeks, lasting about 3 days. His first episode

was at 2 DAYS OLD. The T & A was miraculous - and he was episode free

for 1-1/2 years. But as of February, the has returned, with

fevers occuring at a MUCH faster rate - every 2-3 weeks and still

lasting approx 3 days. Our infectious disease specialist is running

a multitude of tests but he's convinced that it's the return of

and will most likely continue for several more years before it

burns itself out for good. Now we're in the midst of deciding

between Cimetidine and Prednisone. But in the meantime, he's missing

so much school!

An off-the-wall question - Has anyone tried any type of Eastern

Medicine to " cure " their child's ?

And how are parents dealing with the missing of so much school?

Thanks. And my best wishes go our to everyone who's considering or

has had a T & A done. It's a wonderful " cure " for most people. Our

circumstances of it returning is supposed to be VERY rare.

Thanks!
