What if you can't handle the Valtrex?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My son had tested positive to herpes, CMV and very high EB all IgG

results. We started valtrex early this week, 500mg once a day (he is

almost 6 and aprox 50lbs) and after the second day he developed very

red itchy eyes (I had posted about this earlier). I had never seen this

reaction to anything we have given him before, he really could not keep

them open until after a long hot shower. Our DAN has asked us to hold

the Valtrex and said maybe we would start at a 1/2 a dose again in a

few days.

If he cannont tolerate the Valtrex, what are the alternatives? I'm

sure there are some natural anti-virals but I don't know what they are

and would like to research them before our dr's apt. on Monday.

Thanks for any advice

Do you know about the healing regression period. I get excited when I see my

son 6yr 48lbs getting the viral reactions because it means it's working. Every

reaction has not lasted long. I think though you are on a small dose and you

should be splitting it up 3x per day. My son is on 750mgtotal with 250mg split

3x. CJ got a cold sore yesterday that is already gone and I cheered for joy.

Hi , What's your take on this: My daughter has been on

Valtrex about two months, OLE about 6 weeks, I added VS two weeks

ago tuesday lots of babble and she is becoming clearer.

(background) She got a feverblister 10 days ago. It's still here I

think it's getting better then it gets worse? What's your take?

Thanks, Pam

Pam,

I've had them my whole life and it is not unusual to last a good two weeks

it could also be reoccurring more than one time. Is is still in the exact same

spot or has it moved? When it's really flaring they can start in another spot.

There might be a little sting at 1st but have you tried to apply the OLE

directly to her lips? I do that with the liquid OLE from wild oats and it

really has keeped them at bay. Everything you put on them stings though. I

would be happy if I saw such a viral reaction from CJ, like I said, it's all

good. -

my son simply doesn't do well when on several rx meds at the same time (ex: rx antiviral, rx antifungal, ssri, etc.). just has a sensitive body. suggestions: OLE, cumanda, transfer factor
