Length of first round of antibiotics


Recommended Posts

DD is on her first round of Antibiotics for recent onset of PANDAS symptoms. Her pediatrician who does not know much about PANDAS gave her Cefdinir- 250mg/ 5ml daily for 10 days. Does anyone know if this is an appropriate dose? She has an upcoming appointment with Psych doctor who has knowledge of PANDAS, but he can't see her until May 29th and won't give me any advice until then. Thanks so much.

We are a recent onset as well. Ds started antibiotics 2 weeks after symptoms started. In the interest of getting started ASAP, we went with our pediatrician's offer. 10 days of augmentin followed by 1-2 months of amoxicillin. I was hopeful, but skeptical. After some initial herxing, he is about 90-95% back to normal, and we're 4 days into the amoxicillin. I'm hopeful that it can actually be this simple when it is caught this early.
