Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi folks. Our 4yo girl was dx with a UTI a week and a half ago, for which the gave us Sulfameth-trimeth/ grape flavored (gen. Bactrim). Then dd and I went to visit my mother out-of-state because hubby was laid-out with an upper respiratory infection (as was I), but I was ambulatory enough to drive us away to get some help. Back to the bactrim...Well, no-way, no-how would she take the stuff. Sooo.. after returning home, I called drs office and asked for another anti-biotic and discovered our daughter also has a strep infection, as well as an e coli infection. The drs. office prescribed AMox-Clav (gen. Augmentin). She drank this just fine. Unfortunately, 12 hours after starting this dd began to have diarrhea. Not just loose stools, but straight water. This has gone on for three days. (Projectile diarrhea!) I've called the drs. again and we're going to try the bactrim again, without flavors this time. Any thoughts on this? I think we've been living with strep for a long time--might be related to her low-grade fevers. AND we're visiting a ped. immunologist/allergist/researcher tomorrow, armed with a notebook of research and a request for the tests. Hopefully we'll move forward on this!
