Joyfulgreetings Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well interestingly enough he had been on antibiotics for a sinus infection in January and he had been doing so much better (behavior wise) since then. He did have a few bad days when we got on the abx from Dr Rao. We have been on the 2 weeks. I was just noticing on Monday how calm he seemed. It was exciting! Then he came down w a cold yesterday and all ###### broke loose. Yesterday was raging that I haven't seen in months. But I started giving him Advil every 4 hours and it really seemed to help. I also started him on adult dosages of fish oil and magnesium. I'm also trying to find some good tasting or easy to hide the taste turmeric. He already seems a bit better. Thank goodness!

LNN Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Joyful - so glad to hear it! Just one thing - when you add something new, try to add only one thing at a time, with a week or two before adding in anything else. Otherwise, if you see a change - good or bad - you don't know what caused the change. Also - check the dosing. I thought advil was every 6 hours. And you may want to post a separate question - I'm not sure doing advil and tumeric together is recommended. Tumeric doesn't help my son, so I'm not current on info. But generally, using more than one anti-inflammatory at once needs to be done with caution or a little research just to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3boysmom Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 And don't forget the probiotics, so that yeast doesn't create more issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyfulgreetings Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Oh I didn't think about the "one thing at a time" part. That's very wise. Thank you. I always do a lower dose of Advil and have him take it more often. Also, I forgot to mention Dr Rao put him on a probiotic. Problem is he hates it. Do you know of one that doesn't use strep culture in it that is good tasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayzoo Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 My kiddo likes this one, it is a capsule that when opened it is a bit sweet: My link About the not wanting to wash his hands, it seems several of these kiddos have an aversion to water for washing. Maybe it is a sensory thing. Mine will drink tons of water, swim in a pool, and really enjoy a wave pool, but she does not want to wash her hands, shower or take a bath.
