Hi all,
My 2 year old son has been on antibiotics
for a sinus infection since November. My
4 and 5 year old daughters also have sinus
issues and now all three have had tonsils,
adenoids out and sinus flushes. My 5 year
old had bones removed as well.
Anyway, my son got his tonsils out and
sinuses flushed in February 2008. They
cultured his sinuses and found that he had
a resistant form of strep pnuemo (so sorry
if I'm not spelling that correctly). He
was on 3 different high powered oral
antibiotics (one after another) and his
repeat ct scan showed that he was still
blocked. He had a Broviac placed and went
on I.V vancomycin. Then, he had an
allergic reaction to that and his ct scan
showed that his sinuses were actually
worse. We switched to I.V Zyvox and added
oral Rifampin (sp?) and I.v. Diflucan.
He's been on those 3 for over 2 weeks now
and has had a repeat ct scan today. I've
gotten preliminary results from the NP...
sinuses are better and he has a mucus
retention cyst in his maxillary sinus.
The dr. was not in and will get back to me
on Monday as to what that means. In the
meantime, I've done the ultimate no-no and
searched the internet for answers.
And I've honestly
not come up with a whole lot.
Does anyone have any information on this
and what it could mean?
Thank you so much!
