My daughter (age 4) had her first noticeable flare with what we believe is PANDAS about a year ago. Many doctors visits and no one was able to help us. We finally got in to Dr. T in NJ when she made a drastic improvement on her own (6 months after initial onset), so we decided not to follow up with him. Now, 6 months later, it all came rushing back. I’m trying to get into doctors appointments again. While we wait, I tried giving her ibuprofen 2xday for three days and she was 100% back to normal. Miraculous. Now, 36 hours off ibuprofen, symptoms are back. How long can I give her ibuprofen for? I realize this is not a long term solution. She’s currently not on any other meds except for a probiotic. And, I’d love to hear how people successfully battle these flares so I have some background to go into our specialist appointments with. Is it always a course of abx? Thank you. I’m so frustrated we’re back in this nightmare.
