Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I started my 9 yr old son on inositol about 3 1/2 weeks ago, working up to about 5 grams a day. Yesterday, he had a sudden fever, no other symptoms. The fever broke quickly with Tylenol, but then last night, he said his tongue felt swollen, and I noticed hives on his chin and hip. I brought him to the doctor this morning, and the hives are much worse today, on his arms, legs and back. The dr thought it was a reaction to something, or viral. He told me to stop all vitamins and supplements until the hives clear, probably 7-10 days. I'm so upset, because I really felt the inositol was working, and so did my son. He said he felt much calmer then he normally does. Has anyone ever seen a reaction like this to inositol? His doctor never even heard of inositol, so he didn't know if it could be causing this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 , I think someone else once mentioned a rash/hives. Wish you hadn't had to stop all he was taking, interesting to see if just the inositol stopped would have cleared it up. But if that was the only " new " thing he had recently, then it probably was. Look at the bottle and see if anything else might be listed as to a possible cause?? Was thinking a different brand might make a difference?
