Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Dear Stan and/or collective wisdom -- we haven't yet started Valtrex (hope to sometime soon), but our DAN doctor put our daughter (PDD-NOS, 5 yo) on Diflucan for a 21-day stint to clear up a long-standing fungal infestation. By about day 2, she developed a fever, and it stayed low-grade for a couple of days (100-101) and then spiked up to 104 on day 5; took her to the pediatrician, who diagnosed coxsackie (which is an enterovirus, distantly related to oral herpes, as I understand it). We're off the Diflucan for now while the coxsackie runs its course, so as not to tax her system... do you all think the Diflucan might have " flushed out " the virus, or is it a coincidence (she does go to a summer school where other kids may have had the virus), or perhaps the fungal die-off might have weakened her system enough for the coxsackie to pounce? Just curious... Thanks to all in advance, -- ------ Dell' Austin, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Exactly. When we treat fungus by itself, we can kick up a virus. We have seen this as well. The problem is that if you are not treating with an antiviral at the same time, whatever this cridder is seemingly has an opportunity to turn into other things.... or if there is just a smoldering virus among the fungus then we still don't have the best chance to kill it without an antiviral onboard. If it were my child, I would continue with the diflucan but this time with Valtrex and possibly Olive Leaf Extract as well. You may want to do a trial of MB12 along the way as well, since raising glutathione is a wonderful antiviral as well. - Stan > > Dear Stan and/or collective wisdom -- we haven't yet started Valtrex > (hope to sometime soon), but our DAN doctor put our daughter > (PDD-NOS, 5 yo) on Diflucan for a 21-day stint to clear up a > long-standing fungal infestation.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Stan - thanks! We're due to meet our DAN next week, and will work on the Valtrex prescription at that point... We were on MB12 spray for a while, but our daughter was resisting it and much of it ran out of her nose; we're doing injections at this point (3x week) and doing transdermal glutathione...
