Lyentzer Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 My 8.5 son diagnosed a year ago with pandas and is in azithromycin and Zoloft and doing pretty well. He got hives last week and while better are not all gone and there isn’t anything new and we can’t figure an allergic reaction. Can hives be a symptom of strep? He has no other symptoms but has been more distracted in school than normal. Also any tips on getting throat swab if we go as he will fight us and refuse to open his mouth? Any other ways?

bws1565 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 What are you going to do if the culture is positive? (just to note the value of fighting with him...) Hard to believe it will be if he is on long term antibiotics. Hives could be a virus as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyentzer Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I’m thinking the doctor may change up the meds since strep broke thru but I will have to ask. We have an appt Friday am as behavior has gotten worse this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bws1565 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have needed to threaten my kids with bloodwork, if they won't open their mouth for the swab. You can just check strep titers to detect a strep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
