Need advice about babesia herx?

[Betty04]

My son is being treated for babesia. His primary symptom is motor tics and a facial twitch. Since Nov he has been on Azith, Mepron and Tindamax. Though he has been treated for years prior with antibiotics and last year dual antibiotics for Lyme with no improvement. His tics have improved on this babesia regime. Last week his llmd discontinued the tindamax since my son had developed horrible reflux. Within a day of stopping his tics worsened and his dry cough that began with treatment increased. Friday evening he took 1 drop of Bab-1 and another drop Saturday morning. By the afternoon he was crying with neck pain and a headache. He calmed down with distractions, ate dinner and took his meds. However he threw up his dinner before bedtime but went to sleep okay. Then he woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible headache and fever of 100. He took Advil and woke up with no fever, slight headache but now he says his throat hurts. Does this sound like it could be a herx from bab-1 or a virus? It was seeming like a herx but don't know about the sore throat. Thanks for any help!

It is hard to say, but we personally have had 2 separate viral infections come into our house in the last few months- one a high fever presentation (103) that my Lyme and non-Lyme child both had, that cleared, and then we had the stomach/throw up virus come in 24-48 hour come in.

Thanks. It looks like a virus since he is still sick today and hasn't had any meds or bab-1. Just hope we don't take too many steps backwards with this illness. Thanks again.
