Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 My son had the infection 2 days ago. Doctor put him on augmentin. He became so agressive, emotional and also he is itching a lot. I know that those are the side effects but it really scares me to continue to the antibiotic. He is on day 4, we have 6 more days to go. I am not sure which is damaging my son, strep or augmentin? I wrote to my DAN but did not get any response yet.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 My dd5 has PANDAS. We started on Azithromycin (saw big Wows!) and after 5 or so weeks, started to back slide, so our Dr. has us try Augmentin SR (slow release, 2x a day) it killed her stomach- she basically stopped eating (very little) and stopped drinking as much, constipated (yes, I did probiotics and Diflucan with it, clean diet, gave her stuff for constipation) on the 3rd day when she slumped from the kitchen table chair to under the table, I PULLED it. Got right back on the Azith., she is eating, pooing, drinking- much better! G/L -- I got my Azith. from a compounding pharmacy in a liquid (GF/CF/SF dye free, and yet good tasting) now she swallows pills, and they made up the Azith. in speical capsules for her, too- Hang in there- > > > > Subject: Re: Anxiety/Crying, Is It Strep Infection or Antibiotic That Is Triggering It? > To: mb12 valtrex > Date: Tuesday, February 22, 2011, 9:52 AM > > > >  > > My son had the infection 2 days ago.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 We started at treatment dose- for my dd5, who weighs 40 pounds, that is 200 mg a day, 1x a day- Azith. has a longer life in the body (up to 1-1 1/2 days) and gave ibuprofen 2x a day, at treatment dose for her body weight. Took copious, detailed daily notes. I recommend a 30 day trial. Give a good probiotic. I also had her tested for PANDAS through a blood test at a university research center- it measures the auto-immune function in the brain- we came back high/severe PANDAS. She has had this untreated for some years- It is hard, and sad (just had a heartbreaking night) We are going to IVIG in a few weeks- prayers appreciated, a quick good thought...I really love this little girl. > > what dose azith and for how long? > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: mb12 valtrex > Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 6:14:57 > Subject: Re: Anxiety/Crying, Is It Strep Infection or Antibiotic > That Is Triggering It? > > > My dd5 has PANDAS.
