Is there anything else that isn't harmful that can treat things like pnemonia and strep and other bacterial illnesses?

We are interviewing a new pediatrician who treats more holistically and is supportive of not vaccinating or spreading them out, but she is almost an hour away. At this point, I am willing to drive anywhere, I just need to be able to feel supported and not thought of as crazy. This is so incredibly hard.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Unfortunately, whether it's bronchitis or pneumonia, I would think that staying on the antibiotics is the proper thing to do. You could call the doc and let them know that your daughter vomited after the Omnicef and see what they say.For what it's worth, my son had constant bronchitis until we started long term abx therapy. He's been on Erythromycin for about 6 months now and he's never been bronchitis/symptom free for longer than a week until we started it.cherylLungs and breathing issues are to be taken seriously.
