Re: Ear pain and Valtrex - HELP!

January 10, 2011

I would def see about the ear infection. Did your son have the hep B vaccine at

birth? That virus loves the ear and eye so maybe it is coming out. I know

phosphatidylcholine helped my daughter in that area somewhat, she was wearing

hearing aides and now she doesn't but does have some oversensitive issues w/

hearing occasionally. If you're son doesn't have a big issue w/ soy that may be

a good option just to see if it helps. Don't stop and start on the antivirals

though, you dont want any crazy mutations. Good luck!

> Hi my son has been on Valtrex, since October for the second time. (the first

time was in 06 for a short time) We have noticed in the last two weeks

complaints of ear pain but this week has been the worst. We have a doctor's

apptmt tomorrow, but he started screaming on Thursday night uncontrollably. I

gave motrin and ear drops, he calmed and 3 hrs later the same thing. So I

thought maybe ear infection and cold, but the next day he said his ears were

fine, but would not let me touch them. I called the doctor and he said watch and

call back in the morning, Saturday. So I stopped Valtrex this weekend ( fr. and

Sat), since his breathing was labored as well, just to give him a break from

detox. Over the last 3 months, we have seen, back rashes, bleeding lips and

split lips. We had a change from Valtrex to Valacyclovir as well.

> He seemed better this weekend so I restarted, Valtrex today and give his

normal doses and lo and behold at 1230, he comes out screaming and holding his

ears saying he cant take it anymore. What should I do? Is he not a candidate for

Valtrex? Cheryl L, or anyone?
