Azithromycin - just started to take this

Following the augmentin that my son took from May to July, he improved by 20%. Slowly, since that time, he has gone back to the same level of ill health as before.

Yesterday he started on Azithromycin.  We have Lyme (big surprise) and high strep titres (over 800) in the family.   Hopefully, there will be no allergic reactions.  Azithromycin is now also a recognised treatment for Oesinophilic Gut Disease  - I am hoping that his stomach aches may also improve.

Learning the other day that IVIG has been known to cure Oesinophilic Gut Disease makes this option more appealing.  I had turned my back on it - but will research it again.

I look forward to one day having a child free of illness who can, once again, get on with enjoying his life.
