Relief With Acyclovir

[cobygurl]

Hi All,

 

I am just wondering if anyone has experienced a full recovery on Acyclovir? My 4 year old is on day 12. The first round was 10 days and Dr. T says 10 more days to make it 20 days total. Initially he was doing much better but some days it seems he goes backwards.

 

If anyone could offer and advice or feedback I sure would appreciate it. I am feeling hopeful and sad all at the same time and so desperately want my little guy to get better.

 

Thank you in advance!!!

We have a lot of high viral titers, but we started with amantadine since her highest was rubella. What is the doc trying to treat with the acyclovir? Is he on any antibiotics as well?

Hi Mayzoo, coxsackie is what the doc is treating. No antibiotics right now. We are hoping that the Acyclovir will help. We've seen an improvement but he does go backwards some days which has me on the edge of my seat. I really am so desperate to find something that works. I am confused though because his coxsackie titres though flagged high didn't se extremely elevated. We are waiting on another blood test to be done in a few weeks to see if his myco titres are still high.

By the way Mayzoo, how long have you been on your antiviral a and are you noticing improvements? What are your child's major symptoms? Ours are tics with some mild OCD.

Curious if anyone has done more than 2 rounds of Acyclovir? If yes, did the Acyclovir knock out the infection? If more than 2, how many rounds were needed?
