Wondering if my son's a viral kid...

[Guest guest]

Hello, all! We have a 5 year old, autistic son. We've been doing

biomedical treatments since he was 1 1/2 years old. I've been

thinking about antiviral treatment for a while now. We had the typical

regression after his MMR. He gets frequent cold sores on his mouth.

I noticed today that he has some small sores around his mouth/not on

the mouth. They're either little red bumps or look like tiny

whiteheads. I also noticed he has a sore in his nose and 2 more on the

tip of his nostril (same nostril that has the sore in it). He was

having nice somewhat formed poop, but today he had 4 that were pretty

loose and smelled really funky. The poop leaves a horrible flat rash

on his bum. He's had this rash before and after so many of these

poops, his bum will bleed a little. Of course, there is a stomach

virus going around his class...

But- I find it odd that he has not gotten sick yet, this school year.

He is in a class with 6 other autistic boys and 7 teachers and they

have all been sick. They've passed around a stomach bug with diarrhea,

one with vomiting (half the kids and teachers got that one), a cold

and then another round of diarrhea. But, he has not been sick once.

The only thing I noticed were a few days where he acted like he didn't

feel good, but no fever. His poops weren't so good those days either.

Oh and he's been on Diflucan for a few months to keep our yeast

problem away, so I know the rash on his bum is not yeast.

So, not sure what to think. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
