mommyof2 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hello I have read different remarks saying how when some kids were put on anitbiotics the tics subside a bit...well we just put our ds,10, on Amoxicillin for pink eye and this is now the 3rd day and he has started a new vocal tic, he is constantly making a humming noise. He is not doing really any other tics other than his normal arm movements, but they are not quite as bad right now. has anyone had this happen on an antibiotic. Just curios... I am happy he is doing so well right now... but just wondered if anyone had a new one begin with an antibiotic. thanks mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi it is usually the kids with PANDAS whose tics subside with antibiotics as it kills the strep is there red dye or other coloring in the antibiotic? if so that may be the culprit. one can get dye free meds at certain pharmacies (sometimes they have to special order) or get it made up at a compounding pharmacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ad_ccl Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 increase of yeast while on antibiotics can also cause tics - is she also on a probiotic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyof2 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 no he only has the anitbiotic and drops for his eyes for the pink eye. I give him a mag/cal subliment, B complex, fishoil/flaxseed comb. and grape seed extract. Mary increase of yeast while on antibiotics can also cause tics - is she also on a probiotic?
