Mycoplasma positive

[HT's Mom]

We ran the usual blood tests last week. Strep tests all negative, showing low titers, but mycoplasma came back at 2.83, twice what it was several months ago. DS17 is on 500 Augmentin daily. Our local doctor wants to call in a regular 5 day Z-pack of zithromax. Is this enough? Do we do it at the same time as the Augmentin, or switch? Is there a better antibiotic for myco p?

 

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.

I'm on Biaxin (clarithromycin) for MycoP right now. But there are others here with more MycoP experience-- so I'd see what they have to share...

Biaxin or azithromycin but 5 day course not enough. See if you can get a month supply of biaxin.

I'm on Azithro/Doryx for antibiotics and A-Myco 'Byron White' herbal formula (might be able to find on-line working up to 30 drops x 2 day) plus XClear nasal spray (Whole Foods or Pharmica).
