Backsliding?

[KaraM]

I have been really encouraged lately. My daughter was about 90% better and I heard from many of you that the rest takes time. And it did seem she was continuing to improve.

Yesterday, her teacher asked me if I thought she would have problems swimming in the public pool during their park field trip.

I responded that her contamination fears are just about gone.

 

Of course, last night and this morning, the questions and avoidance are starting to come back.

Bags are too dirty to carry her stuff in; her hat is contaminated because it fell on the floor; where did I get this? Did that touch something else?

Curiously enough, she also had a bloody nose (a very small one). But this is the first one since in at least 6 - 8 weeks.

 

I'm wondering if I should take a wait and see approach and take this opportunity to work some more on CBT/ERP or if I should just go back to 1 1/2 tsp. (Dr. B had reduced her abx from 1 1/2 to 1 tsp of Zithromax a couple of weeks ago.)

 

I should probably call Dr. B....right? I appreciate anyone's thoughts nonetheless...

 

Thanks,

Kara

I'd boost the zith- better safe than sorry! Those blips make my heart sink- very difficult to just do nothing.

How many mg is 1.5 tsp? I would go back up, but let Dr. B. know what's going on.

I believe 300mg. (200 mg per 5 ml).
