thereishope Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 My son only had a high fever once since PANDAS. For him, he was fine during the actually fever and it was a few days post fever that I saw some PANDAS symptoms. For him, they were short lived. Some say when PANDAS kids have fevers, there's a calm before the storm. Maybe your son's fever is in the tail end of on its way out? Just try to keep the fever down and if need be, you can alternate between Ibuprofen and Tylenol, spacing them out. Perhaps even continue to give Ibuprofen a few days after the fever is gone.

monarchcat Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 All my son's behaviors and tics disappear when he has a fever. After the fever we will usually see an ramp up in symptoms, but during the fever - nothing. It's amazed me every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momcap Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 We have seen both extremes with fever in my DS. Sometimes when he gets a fever he is the calmest and most "normal" we ever see - the "calm before the storm" effect. But the last time he got a fever he was acting VERY strange. He was rubbing the couch and looked spaced out. He told me all of our stuff was different, but he couldn't explain it. The couch felt different and everything looked different, even though he knew it was really the same. Then he said he didn't feel real, like he was in a movie or dreaming. He kept talking strangely like this, and then he had a major shrieking fit which our neighbour could hear and came running over to see what was wrong. It upset the poor neighbour so badly she started cursing and telling me to rush to the E.R. - where we had just come from. Anyway, long story short - we have seen both extremes with fever. WAY WAY worse, and WAY WAY better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airial95 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ditto for us - when our son has a fever, ALL of his PANDAS symptoms seem to go away, and he's calm and mellow. Is it terrible that we sort of enjoy when he has a fever?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkur Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Same for my son. It gives me hope because I can see him without all the pandas. When my son is having seizures he also returns but cannot fnt because of seizures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colleenrn Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 My children do tend to get very high fevers with illnesses (103-103.5), but I have not noticed a decrease in tics. Could he have strep right now? I would be concerned that with the high fever and the ramp up in symptoms, that it is strep. You can get strep while on Augmentin, especially if the dose is on the lower side. How much does he weigh and what dose of augmentin?

kcdc3 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 My dd calms down as well, but she hallucinates if she is sleeping. She will wake up with vivid horrible hallucinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
