Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 My grandson Tristan has had signs of allergies, but not illness. When at school yesterday he had severe self abuse and behavior issues, and said "mouth hurts" we all knew he had something physical going on. When he arrived yesterday ( I care for him after school) I asked him if his throat hurt or his mouth hurt, and asked him to show me. He pulled his lower lip down and said ulcers. He has a prescription to treat ulcers in his mouth which have been chronic. The doctor this morning informed his stepdad that he had a bad strep infection and probably has had it for over a week. He has had noticeable tics in his facial muscles and eyes, and the doctor said they are caused from the strep. It seems we have a case of PANDAS. He started on antibiotics today. Has anyone's child had this? C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
