No Strep?

[melanie]

Here we go again dan had his negitive strep test and DAN dr wants him off the zith hes been doing better and im scared I still have some more Im hording it and I want to keep him on it what do I do ?

[peglem]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't it expected that antibiotics will render strep tests negative? And isn't the purpose of taking the zith precisely to keep those strep tests negative?

Yes, I'm confused as well...the antibiotics are not only to get rid of strep but to prevent flare ups when there is strep exposure. After a week off of Azith, dd was right back where we started again, when I tried to "pulse" the antibiotics. Is your doctor really familiar with PANDAS?

Melanie-

If you have seen a big improvement in Dan while on the Zith, in my opinion I would keep him on it. The culture is negative b/c he is on the Zithromax.
