How long is die-off for your child? with Bartonella

How long does die-off usually happen when you first start antibiotic. Thanks

It depends. One time I made the mistake of starting two antibiotics at the same time and my daughter went nuts. I knew it was die off and thought it would clear but a month later she was still no better. My LLMD had me stop the antibiotics for two weeks then start only one back. We have learned from that mistake. Now if we switch antibiotics we always only start with one and give it one to two weeks before adding in another. This is much easier on everyone. It usually takes a week or two for my daugher to settle down, depending on the antibiotic. Also, if it is one that has to be taken twice a day, I always give it only once a day for the first three days then increase to twice a day. My daughter is very sensitive and herxing can be an ugly time in our house so we go slowly to help keep the peace. This is what we have found that works for us.
