I fifnally got my son some abx but its cefzil. is that any good or helpful at all.

bump for opinions on med

[philamom]

Cefzil is in the Cepalasporin family. Yes, it is precribed for strep. How long did he prescribe for? Until the surgery? I'm glad you got some where - good luck!!

Our experience that the cephalasporin family of antibiotics has been highly effective for strep. Dawn

Great! I would work on arrangements now to make certain he is on abx afterwards. Maybe ask Dr. B's office if they could send him a letter/fax suggesting another 2 weeks of abx after the surgery, until your appointment with him. I would be concerned with all the bacteria being released and not being on some sort of antibiotic. Also, I recommend a probiotic if he's not already on one.

Florastor is our Friend!! Our boy has been on a boatload of abx w/o a yeast problem. Can't say enough good about it. Dawn

I also use Florastor. They sell a kids version that you can mix with food/drink or sprinkle directly into the mouth. I also like Culturelle kids. Try to separate 2-3 hours away from antibiotics.

My son uses culturelle probiotic pearls because he can taste everything. These are great. We had amazing results with Omnicef for years to control his Pandsd, then it stopped working. Now on Clindamycin..
