I think your husband's dose of 250 2x/day of Ceftin is a low dose. He could be taking 500mg 2x/day. I would ask you dr about either increasing it to 500 or if it does not seem to be working, switch to Biaxin like you are on. Biaxin is more effective than ceftin in reaching any intracellular strep.

 

I wonder if that is why Augmentin did not help your strep at all. Sometimes Augmentin is effective in reaching intracellualr strep, but other times it is not effective at all. Biaxin is effective in getting to the intracellular strep, so maybe your strep is/was intracellular.

UV lightholder: It is in the toothbrush aisle at WalMart- it is a toothbrush holder- they come for singles but is more reasonably priced to buy the 4 toothbrush sanitizer/holder. Keeps the toothbrushes separate, head-down and then turn the uv light on, says it kills strep on the brushes (:

We have all the brushes labeled, the holder spot labeled for each person , and a separate tube of toothpaste labeled for each person. Sounds a little too organized, but with having a big family it was such chaos with toothbrushes/paste. This seems to work very well so far!

Cool! I'll look into it. We've been doing separate cups for each child and individual toothpaste. I'm encouraged that they haven't caught it this time. I've been giving them a homeopathic remedy and I think it's working for keeping them from catching it.

Yesterday Monday 7/26/2010 Rachael Ray did a human lab segment on 3 germ killing products. The website shows how they used each product for testing but doesn't show the results. They tested before and after using each product. All of them worked. The 3rd product was a UV toothbrush sanitizer.
