Gentamicin and other things

[Guest guest]

It is my understanding that the aminoglycoside antibiotics *only* affect *hearing* in the *very specific MtDNA deletion A1555G*.

Gentamycin is ototoxic to everyone not just people with MITO. I don't know about specific deletions, I was told by Dr. Saneto that MITO kids in general should never recieve: Gentamycin, Tylenol, Ringer's Lactate, Gas Anesthesia (I have the name written down somewhere of the specific anesthesia drug to avoid) because these and some other drugs put added stress on the mitochondria and/or damage mitochondria and increase symptoms. I always gave my kid Tylenol until last year when he told me "by the way don't give her tylenol". Then he gave me the list. It was a surprise to me.

what is the alternative to reduce fever

Ibuprophen (motrin) is a good choice and what my doc recommends. (Of course we all know not to give aspirin to kids.) Fever is really rough on mito kids.
