DS 18 had tonsils removed in March, at recommendation of Dr K after a phone consult. DS had been mostly in remission for three years, but had an exacerbation every time he was exposed to strep, which was six or seven times a year. We wanted to get him to a better place before college. So tonsils come out. They are biopsied and reveal lots of various types of infection. DS has a difficult recovery but gets through it okay and has had one flare after another ever since. He has been on Augmentin 875 twice daily since the tonsils were removed. Has gotten strep three times, plus had what the internist thinks was mycoplasmic pneumonia. Went on bactrim for 14 days for that and seemed fine. Went back to Augmentin for two weeks and totally tanked. Back on Bactrim and Prednisone. Having OCD, social challenges, difficulty eating and even swallowing. Starting to wish we had not had tonsils out. What am I missing and what ought we to be considering? Back to internist this Friday and another phone call w/Dr. K in early August. What labs should we be asking for and how can we get DS back to a reasonably good place before he leaves for college in a month? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
