cara615 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Just as we have been seeing improvement coming off our 1st flare since dx, now we are dealing with a sibling's sore throat. I noticed my PANDAS kid's tics starting to get more frequent yesterday afternoon (mostly the same vocals). i didn't think much of it cause it vary's from day to day but then his brother told me he had a sore throat. This morning he still had the sore throat. It did not look red when I took a light to the back of his throat but i will take him for a throat culture this afternoon. ARGH I can't win!!!! Summer time where are you?????
qannie47 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Yes. It seems that summer time is my ds's finest hour. He has yet to have a flare during that time.
rowingmom Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Yes, summer's all good except for those nasty, biting arthropods.
cara615 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Well Ladies, his brother (non PANDAS) has STREP. It explains a lot. I actually feel relieved! We start him on amoxicillan for 10 days and retest after that. I need a glass of wine.
JoyBop Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Keep in mind that when kids are on abx their throat cultures can be a false negative. Make sure you follow up with repeat swab on sibling. Good catch!!
