Child Have Strep, Fever And Ear Infection
My 2 yr old son was positive with strep and an ear infection, treatment ordered was 6 ml of amoxil x 10 days. Ten days after medication he broke out in fevers again 104 range. Cbc showed high neutrophils with ok platelet count. There have been loose stools after pediasure drinking (he is lactose intolerant) but im not sure if its contraindicated for him. He has had numerous amounts of strep throats since he was 4 months old. He suffers from chronic constipation and is pre asthmatic. He is also anemic with weight losses flucuating between 4 to 6 months in 3 months.

Hi dear,it is pity, but he has again bacterial infection, because level of neutrophils is very high.Actually, we should treat him according to sensitivity to antibiotics. He has resistant flora. Consult him at ENT doctor,discuss question about tonsillectomy. I suggest
-cefadroxil 10 mg/kg ,divided for 2 doses for 5 days;
-apply Pantosal to his tonsils 2 times a day;
-vizylac 1 capsule daily for normal flora for 1 month;
-for anaemia give Ferronia XT 5mg/kg for 3 month, iron and protein enriched diet.
-add enzymes syrup during meal for 1 month,he will gain weight
