Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've noticed that with Aidan too - the day after he's still kinda " down " - but then they perk right back up! Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Zak is not himself with the pred either. It dropps the fever, but his other symptoms are still present for at least one more day. sarah <saras_sarah_2002@...> wrote: I gave madi a dose of pred yesterday..it worked for the fever but she isn't feeling quite herself.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Has anyone had any issues with prednisone making their child nuts? When Dean (almost 3) took prednisone, he was bouncing off the walls almost immediately. I have been hesitant to give it to him again (he was given the prednisone more for croup than for the fever that accompanied it). The Tylenol/Motrin (cocktail) and cool baths seem to be controlling the fevers enough that I feel reluctant to throw corticosteroids at the kid.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've noticed lots on the board talk about their children not eating before an episode, and then below about Prednisone making their child hungry. We have the opposite. Dani eats ravenously right before an episde, and then doesn't eat for 2-3 days during the episode (even after Prednisone). I've always assumed that her body kind of knows it needs to store up some energy and then she doesn't eat because her throat is so sore. Also - Dani is in the 90's % for weight and 80's% for height for her age, which seems a bit different than a lot I've seen on the board. She's about 32.5-33 lbs and just turned two on 7/20.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have no problem with Dean eating, ever. He is almost 3, in the 90% for height, 60% for weight, and he's 37 inches tall and weighs almost 37 lbs. The prednisone he has taken does make him eat more, and he should have been a girl, because the cravings he gets when he has taken the prednisone has been potato chips and Hershey kisses, together! _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Hackett, Ginger Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 10:21 AM Subject: RE: Re: Madi after pred...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 LOL! Maybe he's pregnant! Well - we are blessed because what our daughter loves more than anything is green peas from a can, but lately her new craving is Lima Beans. If she turns down these, we know she's not feeling well.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I wasn't even that bad when I was pregnant! I certainly wouldn't argue with peas and limas, after all, they at least have some nutritional content! Dean will eat veggies, but if he is sick, or has a fever, forget it, it's junk food all the way, and so long as he is eating, I am not complaining! _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Hackett, Ginger Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 10:32 AM Subject: RE: Re: Madi after pred...
