Antibiotics & iodine, how do they interact? Daughter with possible mono

[Guest guest]

My daughter has all the symptoms of " mono " , with very painful & hugely

swollen neck glands. I gave her some Iodoral to take because I read

that iodine was good to fight viruses and specifically mono. She took

50 mg iodine this morning.

However, her doctor gave her a prescription for an antibiotic (novo-

lexin or called cephalexin) which she started tonight. It does not

appear to be a flouride based antibiotic like Cipro.

Can she continue on the Iodoral while on the antibiotic?

If so, can she take 50 mg with it?

I will call the pharmacist tomorrow too adn ask, but I wanted to know

if anyone here had used an antibiotic while on iodine. I also tried to

do a search on the drug interaction, but didn't find what I needed.

Thanks you all, I really appreciate this group.

Sincerely,

Hope the doctor also ordered a blood test to check for mono -

monotreated with antibiotics can result in extensive skin rashes. The

antibiotics won't help unless there is a bacterial infection. Olive leaf

extract can be helpful because it works as an antiviral.

Kathy....

I've not read any contraindications on keflex and iodine. However, if

your daughter is fighting a virus, Neem and Reshi are good for this.

Neem has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Reshi

stimulates the immune system. We've used Neem successfully several

times for viruses in the throat and neck that simply wouldn't go away

by themselves. In my case, I had a cold that just settled in my

throat and neck for about 5 weeks and wouldn't go away. I started on

6 capsules each of Neem and Reshi every 4-6 hours and by day 3, I was

coughing up green mucous and feeling much better.
