WOW What a morning.... I took my high-fevered daughter to the dr and she has strep. My son (who has TS) was with us bc he had a slight temp this morning. He looked at him and his face and said he has Impetigo. So that explaines his never ending lip liccing and picking his mouth. At least I have an answer. So they both have to go on Amoxilian. I am so nervous about giving him the antibiotic.
This ped does not agree with our alternative plan and it killed me to go but I was desperate for my daughter. And he did help with my son now. I WILL not give motrin anymore. 1 dose-uggh. Do you use white willow bark? I was told to use that but not sure on how much for a child so I was just opening it and giving her half. It's when they get sick. I don't know what to do and tend to fall back on my old treatments..like tylenol, motrin etc... My son is also supose to put bactroban on his face too.
The supplements we are on are mostly from my recommendations. The first dr we saw that did the IGG test came up with her plan on what he needed (also from my recommendations). Thanks to this forum and my own research. The NMT dr changed this around because of the way he tested for them. I know I am missing something and I am always tring to figure out what it is. It does drive me crazy that she doesn't know. I have learned to trust myself. I used to get really fustrated (and I still do) on not being able to count on a doctor, but with all these drs they just don't know the all answers. Every kid is different. I really think Inositol would help, but she said no, his body doens't need it. So I am listening to her. I feel the best I can do for him is build up his body by feeding him healthy.
Have to tend to my sick kids
