point it was almost affecting kidney function.

Question Regarding Sulfa Drugs

Hi - I'm - occasional poster, frequent lurker....

I have a question for everyone. I think I remember reading here about our kids

having a bad reaction to sulfa drugs (antibiotics). Jimmy was prescribed

Bactrim, and after about 5 days he has developed a raging fever, rash, and

extreme stomach pain. We (the docs) have been testing everything trying to

figure out what's wrong with him, to no avail. Do I remember correctly that some

of the kids on this list had a bad reaction to sulfa drugs? If so, what was the

nature of the reaction?

Thanks so much for your help. My poor baby is miserable - just trying to get

to the bottom of it!

I've never heard of kids with ds having trouble with it. My son with ds

(however) developed a rash when he was taking an antibiotic and they told me

that it was likely an allergic reaction to sulfa. So we avoid it.

I had never heard that it might be a " DS " thing.

had a reaction to Sulfa when she was just over a year old. Broke out in

huge, ringed hives all over her body. Doctor said it was a reaction to sulfa,

he also told me that people with DS have a higher rate of reaction to sulfa than

kids without DS, and he showed me an article about it. Now that was almost 17

years ago, don't know where that article is now.

My daughter is allergic to Sulfa drugs as well.? Had a reaction when she was a

year old or so--- huge hives very soon after taking it. She's 21 now.

[Guest guest]

I had a similar reaction to Bactrim. High Fever for several days. I was

really sick. Several days later I developed a rash. Kailtyn has never had

a problem so far.

Liam can take them, but we've only used it when the doc has cultured the

infection and it's something nothin else will fix.? Mostly we alternate between

amoxicillin, augmentin (which he's on now-- sinus infection caused his eyes to

swell up) and zithromax (when it's only throat)

Hi,

I have a hard time with Sulfa drugs and has never had any problems.  I

know several people who have similar troubles, some more extreme and some not

too bad that they stop taking the antibiotic.

I will never forget the first (and only) time I took Bactrim...bad, bad,

bad...but that was just me :0)
