Urgent advice re: mepron and children

[Guest guest]

I am beginning Mepron tonight for my 2 and 3 year old and am concerned about

possible

side effects and about stopping the Amoxicillin at the same time. They are both

currently on

Zithromax and Amoxicillin and since the prescription to treat the babesia is for

Mepron and

Zithromax I will stop the amoxicillin (though they did already have their

morning dose). Does

it matter if they have the Amox in their system from this morning?

Also, any side effects you've seen in young children? I don't want to wait until

Monday since

most likely it will end up being Monday night before the doc gets back to me and

my little

one is starting to have a verbal tic since yesterday which concerns me.

They have both been on meds since Oct 20th for the Lyme.

Also...do side effects usually happen early on or might it be in a week or two

(I have plans to

be out of town without the kids for three days next weekend). My doc said she

never sees

side effects in kids (except the occasional rash), but I thought I would put it

out there all the

same.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Beth
