HELP--ok to continue DMSA with a fever?

February 13, 2004

Hi

This week has been crazy and it doesn't stop! We finally received

's DMSA from Kirkmans. I gave him his first dose today at 1 pm

ET. He is taking 50mg every 4 hours, he is 32 pounds and 39 months

old. Earlier this morning I thought he felt a little warm but

thought it was my as usual cold hands. I took his temp right after

giving the DMSA and it is 101.3. I know the drug did not cause it.

My questions are:

can I give the next dose and just keep an eye on him?

Is it safe to also give Motrin, if necesssary (if fever goes up)?

I would really appreciate any input. I am calling his pediatrician

who prescribed the DMSA but this really is not her area. Next month

we are seeing a DAN! doc who does chelation (our DAN! person does

not) and will then be in better shape.

Thanks again

Kate D.

Kate: I would not continue chelating with temp >101 -

his body is fighting something and he should not

have any more stress. Give him extra probiotics and

stop until he recovers. Dr. JM

Thanks for your reply. When his fever is gone, do I just disregard

the one dose and start anew?
