Johnsmom, I've been lurking and plan to post my daughter's story tommorow but wanted to comment. Is your son still on 250 Aug twice a day? You may want to comment to Dr. K about the heartburn. Six months after Ivig with Dr. K my daughter was having difficulties swallowing her antibiotic. She then vomited one morning and two weeks later (out of the blue) began with SEVERE heartburn. This then led to a SEVERE fear of choking and vomiting and she was unable to leave our house for three months. I'm pretty sure she contracted strep right before it began (of course negative culture/titer) because a friend had it in her classroom. When I contacted Dr. K he thought it was definetly due to the PANDAS. Her GI doctor prescribed prevacid for 12 weeks and we raised the head of her bed...she also had a lot of problems at night time. We eventually did IVIG again...but i'll post tomorrow. Maybe Dr. K may want to increase the Augmentin slightly higher for 14 days...I know you recently thought your son had strep after IVIG? Thinking of you-

May I ask where you had this done? In Philadelphia?
