When to stop the antiviral

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

My son has been on Acyclovir since February. Initially, we saw slow,

but steady progress. Right now, my son does not seem to be progressing

any further with the antiviral. Would this indicate that it is time to

stop or to switch to another antiviral to see if we start seeing gains

again? We first started out on Valtrex (we saw almost immediate gains

there) but we had to switch since my son was not being good about

taking his medicine. Believe me, we tried everything to try to get it

down him. I wouldn't mind revisiting Valtrex, but my son flatly refuses

to learn how to take a pill. We have tried M & M's, we have tried

Smarties etc. etc. He just won't take anything that we offer him. We

have the Oralflo cup, he won't touch it. I am at a loss. We had been

giving him his Acyclovir in suppository form, but he is starting to get

too big to do this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
