I caved and stopped valtrex/need input

[Guest guest]

Hi group

After reading some of Stan's responses to recent posts, I think I may

have overreacted. My daughter's rashes looked sooooo ugly and were

itching too much on her whole arms, wrists and going into her hands in

addition to ankles, knees and thighs. It got pretty scary despite the

Sulfa-Derm that helped with the itching. She never cries so when I

heard her is distress about the itching, I caved. We stopped 3 days ago

and continue to see the rashes come up with itching and go down. I

don't know what to think now. I kept diflucan 50mg. and all other

supplements previously in place. What do you think? We havn't seen

significant gains during our 40+ days on valtrex, but then again, I may

be missing something.

Do I go back on or wait????? This is not fun at all! PS, Epsom salt

bath did help with the itching.

Thank you friends

I always have the same question, Virginia, as ours gets the kinds of rashes

you describe on any antiviral regime sooner or later. It's really hard to

tell if it is an allergy or not in which case continuing to give something a

child is allergic to could progress to more serious problems such as

breathing issues. Sorry not much help, just wanted to say I hope you get

your answer.
