My eight year old is allergic to amoxicillin, zithromax, clindamycin, and cefzil. We have seen an allergist, and he said there are no tests for antibiotics and that "we have a problem." Can someone please guide me in what to do next? My doctor was hoping the allergist would help guide us for future treatments. I am fearful for any infection like strep throat, ear or skin infections, we have run out of options.
A few days ago I woke up with pain on my lower eyelid, on the outer corner. It lasted all day, and then when I went to sleep, I woke up with no pain. That day I was fine. So I went to sleep and yesterday woke up with the inner corner in pain and swollen. It hurt all day and today I woke up with it even more swollen and red and painful.
My husband was diagnosed with a condition called neurogenic cough. It has been described as a chronic cough where the nerve that provides sensation to the voicebox and is responsible for triggering the cough reflex has been injured, usually by a virus. When this happens, the nerve's level of sensitivity before it triggers the cough reflex becomes markedly reduced; in other words, it becomes hyper-sensitive.

Hello!
Can somebody tell me if there is a problem if someone had 1st dose of engerix B 1 ml (1 month ago) and now we can't find anymore to buy 2'nd dose IF it will take 2 pediatric dose (0.5ml each)?
Thank you!
Anyway, he told me that some people just carry this kindof staff. He put me on antibiotics and recommended I use this soap called cefzil and right away I noticed the boils(purple/redish bumps that have pus in them) lighten up as for the pimples I use oxypads and for everytime I use the restroom I wipe with a babywipe. I hope this helps!
It is currently nothing that is bothersome, although this past month I developed an edematous cheek (possible sinus infection - of which I have never had) and was placed on cefzil. I have responded well to the antiobiotic and the edema is starting to subside. The lesion did bother me at the onset of infection - more an awareness, than pain. That could be in part due to the fact that it has grown significantly in the last 3/52.
Working with a pediatric endocrinologist. Tries to avoid using steroids with the kiddos and we are using metformin to treat. Had difficult time getting up to full dose because of tummy irritation but going from the generic brand to the name brand which has a coating on it seemed to do the trick. First bone scan was 8 yrs and 7 months. Now 10 months later we have progressed to 11 yrs on the bone age scan. What are treatment options to arrest the bone age from progressing so quickly?
He was tested positive for ebv but afetr reduced tacrolimus dose by1 mg per day his ebv is negative. Also his biopsy reports does not indicated auto Immune hepatitis.Please let me know what is the right mathod or treatment to get his IgG and protien level normal.
Thank you for your previous respose.
My regular endo takes pediatric thyroid patients. Don't limit yourself to a pediatric endo - most of them are dealing with pediatric diabetes. Call and find a good thyroid specialist endo then talk to the nurse (a secret to getting around the receptionist) about your daughter's condition - that may get you in faster.
Starting her on Synthroid isn't a bad idea now but she needs long-term followup with an endo.
he has been on the max dose of digoxin for the last 8 or 9 months with little effect. his doctor has suggested doing a catheter ablation on him, given his wieght of over 15 kilos. the other consideration is the number of times he has been in the e.r and p.i.c.u and the heart rate of 250 bpm and higher when in svt. should we consider rfa at this time?

Not autoimune but just started levothyroxine daily, she is on o low dose-1/2 a pill(.25mg) to start out. She has a cold-can she take over he counter cough meds ? She takes her Leve at 6 in the morning. Anyone else out there with a child and thyroid problems? Would love to hear about it-this is all new to me and scary for both of us.
Three to four years ago, my pediatric had prescribed me 300 mg Ranitidine for heart burn. A few months later, a urgent care physician had prescribed me the same medicine. In total, I've taken two bottles of Ranitidine (approx 2 months worth of tablets).
I've been paranoid ever since I learned that Ranitidine had been recalled due to a link to cancer. Is a 2 month dose of Ranitidine something to worry about?
very frequent supaventricular ectopics 5 runs of atrial tachycardia, my question is dose this sound ok we have been told there is nothing to worry about and to just go to hospital if he passes out thanks for your time
My son just started Effexor and only a small dose of 37.5 mg for anxiety and worry and hx of headaches. He is 18 and has ADHD too. He has had severe insomnia since starting this and is supposed to go up to double the dose after 7 days. Is this normal during the inital phase? what is the best anti anxiety med for an 18 you male?
4) and TSH=0.783 (0.3-4.0), accordingly the pediatric endocrinologist of the hospital suggested reduction in terms of giving the dosage 5/7 days a week. Once more we desided to get another opinion. The new pediatric endocrinologist believed there is a high possibility of transient hypothyroidism (not that it matters) and suggested the continuation of dosage at 7/7 days with 25T4 tablets. The last blood test (same molecular lab) after a 2 week period showed the following values fT4= 1.99 (0.6-2.
In other words, the on-line surveys can be useful starting points, but it is wise to use the information to launch a thorough evaluation by a pediatric mental health or behavioral health clinician.
My son has high myopia -8.75 at age 10 and has been under pediatric opthomologist care for yr. I just switched to contact lenses for him for better vision. I just want to know if wear soft contact lenses vs glasses can have negative impact on his progression of myopia. My opthomologsit seems fine with my decision going for contact lenses but am still bit worried.
Any suggestions welcome.Thanks.
t have Interstitial Cystitis. He needs to see a Pediatric Urologist who can sort out the specific problem causing the burning. A urethral stricture or a congenital obstruction of the urethra can cause dysuria. A voiding cystourethrogram (X-ray of the urethr and bladder) would rule out a structural problem. See the Urologist first. Good Luck.
Dr. Lupo,
I posted this same question on the patient community thyroid forum, thinking it was for your forum here. If I also get patient feedback on the other forum, that will be great too!
My question: Can "thyrotoxic myopathy" be induced by excessive dose of thyroid hormone replacement?
I posted previously in regard to my having been over-replaced with Armour thyroid, my T3 level being up to more than double highest normal (high normal 450 - my result over 900).
(Mydaughter, her mother, has died of colan cancer, so I get alot of after the fact, I was surprised to be called) My question is how safe is this procedure? I have been also told sometimes she is given a double dose of her thyroid medicine, so they do not have to break pill in half periodically. Or if she stays the night elswhere she is given a pill at home and that should last her two days. Could this practice, if done on a regular basis, have caused her growth problems.
