Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 My son (age 8) just started taking this on Tuesday, I was just wondering if anyone else's children had any really bad side effects from this. We just changed from Doxci to Zmax and the Plaquenil because the Doxci wasn't helping him anymore. He had been on Doxci for about 4-5 months and it had been the ONLY meds that had helped him then it stopped and he started going backwards again. He was on just Zmax in the beginning and it didn't help everything he has. Late Friday he said his throat hurt and Sat he actually had a really good day!! But Sat night he got a really bad sore throat and was up during the night then sunday it got really bad and he is having fever type chills but not running a fever. In the info from the pharmacy it said some side effects can be infection type symptons ie fever, persistent sore throat. He is having trouble sleeping and is just a mess. Honestly Sunday is one of the worst days he has ever had he was doing so bad with everything. I was just wondering if anyone else had any experiences with this medicine. My Dr is out of the office till Thursday so I'm kind of at a lost on what to do! I'm really concerned for him. And now I'm worrying about giving it to him again or not giving it to him and he not getting his meds for him to go into a relapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
