Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin in pediatric patients

I'm very worried about my 5 yr. old who had the "stomach flu" over a month ago, as the whole family did. Since then she as had continuous puralent diarrhea and vomitting 2-3 times a week, usually 1-2 AM in her sleep. She became dehydrated and had IV's. Her pediatrician thinks it will get better. Finally they took stool, blood and urine samples. Her blood was normal, urine showed dehydration and ketosis, no salmonella in stool, but waiting for parasite results.
should I insist to vaccinate pediatric patients ( >6 month of age) with chronic granulomatous disease against influenza?
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
There are numerous treatment strategies to help nystagmus patients. Like JCH mentioned these are usually best done by pediatric ophthalmologist or strabismus specialist (preferably with interest in nystagmus treatment). I know of one centre in Mumbai where nystagmus treatment is done........Utsav Eye Clinic in Kharghar Navi Mumbai or you could look for a centre nearby. Hope that helps.
A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
Ridha Ahrem, author of The Thyroid Solution, does not recommend RAI for Graves in children, but surgery. There is a slight risk of stomach cancer in a ten year study (8 percent) for RAI patients. No studies have been done beyond ten years.
I suggest you get a doctor who does at least two of these surgeries weekly. The below website lists endos recommended by their patients. I believe some surgeons are on there as well: http://www.thyroid-info.
My daughter failed a vision screening and then saw an optometrist that our pediatrician referred us. I doubted the optometrist's medical opinion for several reasons, one being that although she does see a lot of pediatric patients, she doesn't see many preschool aged patients. My vision insurance does not cover ophthamologists. My medical insurance does but only for strabismus, amblyopia, or eye injury.
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
I am looking for a Cardiologist or Neurologist with experience and interest in following patients with POTS patients who were dx in adolescence and are now young adults and no longer eligible to be seen by their Pediatric docs. I also have two children and a neice with POTS, so I know how hard it is to access good care. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Welcome back. These are a new set of questions so I will address them here using the same numbers that you have used above.
1. The passage of 17 days since your last antibiotics and your most recent testing is more than enough to make your testing reliable. If you were infected, the tests should have detected an infection. Negative tests should also be believed.
2.
I would imagine it would be because pediatric patients are still developing and their structures have a tendency to change significantly. At approx 14 or maybe a little younger puberty sets in and the body's growth is near complete. Plus pediatric neurology/NS are a specialty all their own.
Hope this helps a little.
By 7pm she was vomiting bloody foam so I took her to the urgent care where they advised I take her to the pediatric ER at the hospital. I took her in and they said it was most likely the flu but they were going to do a CT just to be sure. Well her appendix was huge so they rushed her into emergency surgery at which time they found that her appendix was on the verge of rupturing and her abdomen was filled with infection. They kept her 1 day then sent us home with really no instruction.
He commented that I should not alarmed even though it is not common in children this age. He recommended that I return in 8 weeks for an additional sonogram in order to see if there is any change. I asked what the implications are to this calcification at his age, but did not get an answer. This tactic of not answering questions seems to be a common strategy. Anyway if you have any information it would be greatly appreciated.
now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.
Also important is the severity of the Bronchomalacia, that can vary from mild to very severe. What the pulmonologist may have observed may be mild Bronchomalacia in the final stages of resolution. These are questions you should ask of the pulmonologist. I assume that she is a Pediatric Pulmonologist and should be able to answer your questions.
The following statements are taken from The Kliegman-Nelson Textbook of Pediatric Medicine and, I believe, support reason for optimism.
7 months back I was treated for Chlamydia, it took multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat as I still had discharge, eventually it went away (Doxy & Zithro extended courses). 3 months ago I got Chlamydia again, I was treated w/ same extended round & STD tests came back clean. I still have pain currently & it's best to describe as radiating from inside the groin area, extends to my immediate inner thighs, center lower back, through my testis & urethra.
did not have much advice for us because he had never seen this in a child so young. She is very much underweight. She has only gained 2 lbs in the past 10 months, but she has gotten a little bit taller. Her heart beat is fast and she is very, very, hyper I guess you could say!! She has got so much energy that she can just go, go, go, all day. She is also very irritable at any moments notice, but very happy at others. Her attention span is about 3 seconds.
Dear Curious Mom,
A pediatric cardiologist specializes in taking care of children and adolescents with congenital and acquired cardiac disease. Your daughter's condition specifically is something that can be seen in adult and pediatric patients, although therapy can often vary between the two groups.

Forgot to mention my ex-gave it to another person who I ended up contacting after he was telling people she gave him a horrific untestable antibiotic resistantant std this is how I finally got to the bottom of all this and well he was in the British Army and in the UK the NIH have a special test for it and was cured by pristinamycin an antibiotic not used in the United States. Synercid is used in the U.S. which is in the same class as Prystinamycin but it is I.V. only.
