sooo frustrated!

Hi, Just need to vent and see if this has happened to anyone else. My daughter is scheduled for a tonsillectomy this Thur. She has been on Augmentin since Dec. switched to clindamycin last Tuesday. Her throat started hurting on Friday plus head cold, developed rash on Sunday. Just got back from the peditrician and she tested positive for strep on the rapid test. The doctor was just as surprised as I was. Now we have to postpone tx and try a new antibiotic. So frustrated. We have been counting the days until this tonsillectomy praying we all would have some relief afterwards. Thanks for listening.

So sorry to hear this but glad you postponed and had a few days warning at least. Safest thing to do.

Can totally understand why you are frustrated. Hang in there. At least this just confirms that you are headed down the right trail and another reason to get them taken out!

So sorry. that is frustrating

why did they switch the meds?

We had to cancel two MRIs due to continuous strep. To date we have still not had the MRI. We were doing the MRI to see if her other conditions had worsened thus causing all the symptoms we were seeing. Since the PANDAS dx and treatment, I am contemplating if we even need to undergo the MRI.
