Re: Re: Throat issues- Anxiety-Child

[Guest guest]

Sorry, I have no experience w/ Bactrim but I have three things to add:  1) I

notice my throat bothers me sometimes, it might be a scratchy feeling or my

glands acting up but I've never had the feeling your daughter experiences. 2) In

my experience with Tindamax, and my son's, it's pretty hard core.  It brought

out herxing and a secondary bullseye rash (in my son) so don't rule that out as

a possibility. 3) Anxiety definitely increases w/ herxing or throughout this

whole process.

Wish I could be more help.  Best wishes.

Wondering if any children have throat issues as one of their symptoms?

Since beginning Bactrim back in June of this year, our daughter has complained

that her throat feels small, weird, feels like a lump. She was taking the

Bactrim for Bart.

We have recently stopped the Bactrim due to a possible sulfa allergy, but the

throat issues continue and then she gets nervous when it happens and then says

it is hard to breath.

She did not have any throat issues for ten months when treating with Mino and

Rifampin.

Also, her anxiety is more bothersome since the Bactrim. She also began two day a

week of Tindamax shortly after beginning the Bactrim.

So not sure if one or both stirred something up. She has not been diagnosed with

Babs.

Any thoughts, Jane

GERD is a common side effect of antibiotics and can feel like a lump in your

throat. Ask your doctor if she could try 14 days of Prilosec (omprenazole) and

see if this helps relieve her throat issues.

just started the Tindamax last week and I noticed a rash on his lefy

side where he has had pain since Jan. Dr. J said its the cyst form of lyme

hiding in the intracellular tissue, the rash was only there for 2 days....I

wonder....how long has your son been on tindamax and how often ?

My daughter experienced something that may be similar. It turned out to be Vocal

cord Dysfunction. She had the feeling of something in her throat and when it was

bad she had real trouble breathing. It was very frightening. For her it was

caused by several things, one being anxiety. We also noticed when her acid

reflux was bad it was worse. Food and parfume Allergies and running were the

biggest triggers. Hers got so bad we had several ER visits but they never knew

what to do for her. We went to many specialists for it. Besides treating the

Lyme, allergies and acid reflux it was real important to be as calm as I could

when it was happening and for her, making her laugh actually helped. She still

at times during exercize experiences it. Now when she feels it coming on she

makes sure she breaths through her nose and the biggest technique that was most

helpfull was to put the tip of her tongue on the roof of her mouth right behind

her teeth. She says those two things really help. 

I hope this helps! Good luck

Annie

My daughter had the throat issues when she was younger. I had forgotten

until reading Annie's post. Her doctor suggested she get a warm

washcloth and place it over her nose and mouth and breath though it. I

thought it was poppy cock but it worked for her. I am not sure if this

would help at all, but it did relax my daughter and whatever was causing

her throat to feel closed it relaxed it.

Good luck,

[Guest guest]

Hi was only on it for 6 wks., daily dosage.  The bullseye was on his thigh and

slowly faded after 2-3 days.

My 8 yr old son (Lyme & Bart) took Bactrim last winter and had swollen

throat complaints too. He prefered to take Echinacea capsules and I

allowed it thinking maybe his lymph system was stressed and glands in

his neck were swollen. Or maybe it was just the placebo effect. In any

case, sometime early in the summer he stopped asking for Echinacea and

hasn't mentioned his throat since. He is still on Mino, Omnicef, and

Tindamax. He also had a bad time with anxiety, but that is much

improved now.
