gremlin44 Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 My 4 year old is now on a once a week (2 doses that day) prophylactic dose of Zithro for PANDAS. He had his first double dose day last Saturday. I've noticed this last week that at bedtime he is suddenly very thristy and drinking a lot of water. This kid normally doesn't drink much all day. Has anyone noticed a similar symptom in their child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnas Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Azithromycin is a well tolerated antibiotic... SIDE EFFECTS: Azithromycin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting, each of which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin. Rarer side effects include abnormal liver tests, allergic reactions, and nervousness. We have not noticed an increase in thirst but I do tell my son to take his azithromycin with a full glass of water. Ronna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
