behavior decline after augmentin

[Guest guest]

My son took augmentin for 10 days following a cat bite that got infected about a

month ago. His behavior has really declined since - he is more withdrawn and

gets upset very easily. He is now having meltdowns at school. He says that he

feels upset and down. I've read that augmentin can raise blood ammonia, so I'm

wondering if that's the cause, or if it caused some gut bug flareup. Any advice

would be welcomed.

Thanks,

That is probably candida. You need to give him antifungals and probiotics

(100 billion IUs +).

I've never seen such a behavior change with yeast. It's more reminiscent of

clostridia.

He was taking an antibacterial...and I have seen so many and different

reactions to yeast that it is worth a try..anyway probiotics will help with

both and there are natural antifungals that she can try if she does not

have a DAN! doctor.
