Hi.

 My 8 yr old son has been on Azithromycin for almost nine months now and has

had no ear problems.

Hugs

Subject: [ ] Azithromycin long-term?

 

Does anyone have a child on Azithromycin long-term? I've read a lot about how

hard it is on the ears and am a little concerned. My son has been on it for

almost 2 months and so far seems OK. (I ask perdiodically how his ears feel.)

One day a few weeks ago, he had an earache and I kind of freaked out about it...

skipped the azith dose that day. The ear pain passed and he hasn't had it again.

Just wondering if anyone else has done OK with it long-term.

My daughter has been an azithromycin for over 3 years with no problems.

Both of her doctors agree this is a good medicine that in conjunction

with the placquinil is attacking the Lyme, bartonella and even the

mycoplasma pneumonia.

my daughter has been on an every other day anti-inflammatory dosing for 5 years

without any obvious issues.

My son took it for about 10 months and it CURED his " permanent "

hearing loss. Just baffled the ENT that did NOT believe in Lymes to

begin with. I loved that day.

My 5 year old daughter has Chronic Lyme and she has been on Azithromycin since

beginning of May and no ear problems.

My daughter has been on it for 3 years and has been fine on it. I know that,

for adults anyway, that sometimes it can cause tinnitus (ringing in the

ears) or hearing loss but stopping the med reverses this. Don't worry it

will be OK.
