We are not sure if he has pandas but my ped is going by an elevated DNase, me thinking I had strep a couple months ago, him complaining of a sore throat, and a sudden onset of an eye blinking tic a few weeks later. Since he had no documented case of strep, she let us try the antibiotic.
After about 6 days, eye blinking tic is 95% gone. However, now he is doing something weird with his mouth. Like a stretching of his mouth and nose. He mainly does it watching tv, and some in the car. It's a strange looking thing he's doing. Like a fish almost! I gave him benydryl yesterday, maybe that's why he's ticcing differently today? He does have allergies to dust mites but this doesn't really look related.
What does this mean? Do pandas tics usually change like that? I really thought I was on to something figuring this all out. I hope that makes sense. I thought he was getting better and now this. Maybe this means it's just a tic and not pandas at all?
Thanks,
Sandy
