Hi mission,
thanks for your reply. I stopped my ds antibiotic abt 3mths ago and since he has been sick for almost every other week. Fever, flu, cough etc. I had asked his pd if the antibiotic has something to do with his recent weak immunity but he didnt really think so.
But he is sick so...
he is 10mths old. i wanted to do another MCU when he is 1.5yrs old so that he can off antibiotics earlier but PD also feels it is not useful to redo MCU below 2.
same here! pd also suggest circumsion but i also cannot swallow the thots of putting him thru that.
i think you pull too hard, think you have to be very gentle, its very sensitive leh you will hurt him like that.
how old is your son? is he due for another MCU?
mission, ya i did. cos pd also mentioned that ds foreskin a bit tight so got to clean very carefully otherwise might collect bacteria
alyjas, the only way to confirm reflux is thru MCU test. Dun worry too much. Actually, usually if boys has UTI, higher chance of reflux compared to girls.
by the way, just want to share, i brought my son to see tcm and i mentioned to her abt his UTI. She prescribed some medicine which she told me will help in controlling his UTI a bit.
Hi alyjas,
i dun think high fever indicates higher possibility of reflux, the fever indicates the degree of infection. if the fever remains high and persistant after treatment, then you have to be more careful
mummies, my pd recommend to give bb probiotics esp when they are on long term antibiotics so that it can replace some good bacteria wiped out by the antibotics.
I am giving ds Solaray Babylife from pd, also available at GNC
may i know from mummies whose child with reflux taking what...
yes i did bring him too see his pd on this, he prescribed lung tonic.
in fact i am also very worried that it might lead to asthmatic cough or some other conditions.
koalarie, may i know what is mycoplasma? how old is your dd? what kind of antibiotic is that?
Does a humidifier helps?
