prkamp Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 hello! Our dd9 (pandas) had strep A in throat culture again. Culture taken 7 weeks ago. 3 weeks ago (!) we heard the result. Doctor finally said he is going to use AB profylaxe (like in Rheumatic Fever he said). He gave her 1 time a day 250 mg broxil. She weighs about 63p (28 kilo). Questions: 1) Should we not first threat the strep A and THAN go to profylaxe? 2) What is a normal dose to threat the active strep? 3) What is a normal dose for AB profylaxe? We live in a country without pandas-doctors. So we need to help our doctor.... Thank you! Patricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qannie47 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 googled Broxil...lots of energy used to get to the bottom of what it actually is...this concerns me. Why am I not hearing typical meds to treat strep infection??? Still unsure what Broxil is.... To me it makes perfect sense to treat infection before going to prophylactic dose?????

PowPow Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Isnt broxil just another antibiotic, similar to penicillin? I assume you are in the Netherlands. What do they use to treat strep there? I think you need to find out what the typical dose for strep is and ask for that for a period of time and then prophylaxis sounds great How are her symptoms, since the culture was so long ago?
