Re: Limping after starting antibiotics

[Guest guest]

My son did that twice. Once when he was 3 and once when he was 4. We could not

figure it out. The first time we stayed in a hospital where they thought he had

some kind of osteomalitis.This one came with high fever. The second time the

doctors choose to ignore it.this one was without high fever. I went to all kind

of specialists. From internal medicine pediatric doctors to pediatric

neurologists. Nothing ever came out of it. He stopped limping after about a week

in both cases.Both were around the same time frame of feburary.

falling asleep, we have seen no problems, but then we gave him his first

zithromax yesterday and by last night, he had developed a limp. Our MD said that

sometimes leg weakness happens (I have a call in to her) and that it doesn't

bother the child but can make the parents crazy. She is right - it totally

freaks me out, but my son does not seem bothered. Has anyone else experienced

this?
