Joan Pandas Mom Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 My older son (non PANDAS) has strep pneumonia and has for who knows how long. Does anyone have any experience with this? The sent his throat culture over to the hospital to do sensitivity testing to find out the best antibiotic to use. Not sure what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom love Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Joan, my mom had it and in the hospital she was given iv zosyn. She was sent home on augmentin so that may be the oral equivalent. I know that there is an antibiotic that is becoming resistant to strep pneu. especially out east. I am pretty sure it is zithromax. Does this non pandas have any symptoms? Any issues whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan Pandas Mom Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi. Thanks for this, I am in the East. He had a cold, with a cough and slight sore throat about 2 weeks ago. The sore throat went away in a day so i dismissed it because he said he started to feel better. He has had an ongoing cough on and off for about 3 months now (he is 20 and a smoker). He had elevated titers then too. He was on Biaxin for 10 days then, but if it is that strain resistant to zithro then the Biaxin didn't do any good. He could have had this all that time. He suffers from depression, but no OCD at all. From now on, I am going to take my fam. in for cultures with any slight anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
