JenniferG Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 DS4 (x2) got taken off of Azithromycin because they tested pos for strep throat on it and it is wreaking havoc on there bellies. No weight gain, reflux etc.. Changed to Omnicef now they are allergic to that too. Now what? Joe has been sick for almost 3 weeks. Pos for strep, then massived ear infection.....had to suction pus out of his ear. And now still has a bellyache, sore throat, stuffy nose and is starting a cough....not too mention the emotnal side of it. He can't stop crying. I broke down into tears today, just overwhelmed with 3 sick kids.. Thanks for letting me vent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oivay Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 We couldn't do augmentin either....also an allergy (throat closed/tongue swelled). Have you tried clindamycin? We also tried Biaxin, but that gave her truly horrendous diarrhea, so we had to stop that within about 3 days. Also, don't forget the probiotics. They seem to help with the GI effects from all the abx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dosing is much more frequent, but it is listed in the literature I have read for Pandas and strep. Not sure how effective it may be for you son though. I have a similar situation with my DD. I took her in to get blood work ordered to see if her titers were high or not and to discuss Pandas with her pedi. She, to my surprise, tested positive for strep in the office. Ten days of amoxicillin-still positive, 10 days of augmentin--still positive, 3 days of zithromax and her throat is still as red as it was day one. She was not symptomatic in the normal strep way, so I did not think she had strep . I thought we were dealing with issues from a past September illness. Now, I wonder if she ever got over the strep in September. Her pedi wants her to go to an infectious disease doc, for further testing I believe.

Mayzoo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh, wait....I reread your title. Penicillin is in the same category as augmentin, so scratch that one. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
