Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 My 8 year old has also been fighting strep for the past several months. Our ped always gives him Zithromax for it. My son does poorly with Amoxicillin (yeast and behaviors get much worse). His issues always improve on Zithromax but he has high clostridia markers on the OAT so that might be why. The Zithromax cures the strep temporarily for him but it keeps coming back. Our ped said strep throat must be treated with antibiotics to prevent complications. He also said the strep is not just coming back in his body, he keeps picking it up somewhere. This doesn't seem accurate to me because I see the improvement on the Zithromax and then can see the symptoms immediately start creeping back as soon as the antibiotic is finished. I don't know what the best treatment is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
