Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Dear Stan and/or collective wisdom -- we haven't yet started Valtrex (hope to sometime soon), but our DAN doctor put our daughter (PDD-NOS, 5 yo) on Diflucan for a 21-day stint to clear up a long-standing fungal infestation. By about day 2, she developed a fever, and it stayed low-grade for a couple of days (100-101) and then spiked up to 104 on day 5; took her to the pediatrician, who diagnosed coxsackie (which is an enterovirus, distantly related to oral herpes, as I understand it). We're off the Diflucan for now while the coxsackie runs its course, so as not to tax her system... do you all think the Diflucan might have " flushed out " the virus, or is it a coincidence (she does go to a summer school where other kids may have had the virus), or perhaps the fungal die-off might have weakened her system enough for the coxsackie to pounce? Just curious... Thanks to all in advance, -- ------ Dell' Austin, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Stan - thanks! We're due to meet our DAN next week, and will work on the Valtrex prescription at that point... We were on MB12 spray for a while, but our daughter was resisting it and much of it ran out of her nose; we're doing injections at this point (3x week) and doing transdermal glutathione...
