Recently, my
son has been sick with the typical cold type virus going around. He also
had an ear infection and went on amoxicillin. He did fine with it until
about 7 days in to it he broke out in a rash on his bottom and then the
next day on his cheeks. He already did have a bit of eczema all over his
body. I took him to the dr. and he said it didn’t look like an allergic
reaction to anything, but could just be a flare up of eczema. [And
just what is eczema? Maybe it is an allergic reaction! - bfg]
But
then a couple days later, my when he woke up, he had hives all over his
thighs. [And hives is an ALLERGIC REACTION! - bfg]
We had
finished the amoxicillin 2 days before that, but I was now taking it for a
sinus infection, so he was still getting some from breastfeeding. And he
has been breaking out in hives for 2 days now on and off through the day.
So I did a short trial of just giving him formula instead of breastmilk
and that didn’t seem to make a difference, he’s not breaking out right
after I feed him, it seems pretty random. So my initial thoughts of the
hives being due to an allergic reaction to amoxicillin does not seem to be
true. [Actually she needs to go with her first thought. Yeah, it
probably was a reaction to the amoxicillin. - bfg]
I also stopped
giving him solid food for the time being, he wasn’t that in to it yet
anyway. I called my Dr. office when he first broke out in hives, and they
said that if it happens once or twice it was ok, but if it persists then
they want to know about it. Well of course it is now a weekend and have to
wait until Monday to call them again. He doesn’t have a fever, and he’s
not overdressed to become overheated. Has anyone experienced these kinds
of symptoms with their child? Is it an allergy? Or is he just still
fighting off this virus?

When a baby is small, his gut is more porous, causing food proteins to leak into the bloodstream. The baby’s body will not know if these proteins are “friend or foe,” and may attack them, causing an allergic reaction to the food. As a baby is older, the proteins stay in the gut and are broken down by enzymes.

Neonates and Infants Aged ≤ 12 Weeks ( ≤ 3 Months): Due to incompletely developed renal function affecting elimination of amoxicillin in this age group, the recommended upper dose of AMOXIL is 30 mg/kg/day divided q12h.
As with other penicillins, it may be expected that untoward reactions will be essentially limited to sensitivity phenomena. They are more likely to occur in individuals who have previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to penicillins and in those with a history of allergy, asthma, hay fever, or urticaria. The following adverse reactions have been reported as associated with the use of penicillins:
Infections and
Infestations: Mucocutaneous candidiasis.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, black hairy tongue, and
hemorrhagic/pseudomembranous colitis.
Onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after
antibiotic treatment.
Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the
colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia. Studies indicate
that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is a primary cause of
“antibiotic-associated colitis.”
After the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis has been established,
appropriate therapeutic measures should be initiated. Mild cases of
pseudomembranous colitis usually respond to drug discontinuation alone. In
moderate-to-severe cases, consideration should be given to management with
fluids and electrolytes, protein supplementation, and treatment with an
antibacterial drug clinically effective against C. difficile colitis.

As potent inhibitor of p-lactamases, clavulanic acid is able to avoid
this mechanism of resistance, widening the antibacterial activity
spectrum of several antibiotics. Clavulanic acid presents good
synergetic activity when associated with antibiotics such as amoxycillin,
ampicillin, carbenicillin, ticarcillin, benzylpenicillin or
cephaloridine, against ß-lactamase-producing organisms….
The organic nitrogen complex sources can be seed protein such as
soybean
meal, peanut meal, cottonseed meal and linseed meal,
fish meal, hydrolysates and filtrates of such proteins, meat extracts
and hydrolysates such as peptones, being, preferably, soybean meal. The
amount of organic nitrogen complex source to be fed in a continuous or
semicontinuous mode can be in the daily concentration of 0. 1-1. 5%,
preferably between 0. 18 and 1. 0%, and/or may be such that the protein
concentration in the filtered broth is between 200 and 3500 mg/L,
preferably 400- 1500 mg/L throughout the fermentation.

Alana: Hi, the candida seems to really like my sinus passages and lungs. I get stuffiness, post nasal drip, painful throat and also asthma too. Of course, all of this was treated for over 8 years with antibiotics, steroid sprays (both nasally and most recently 1 year of inhaled steroids for my asthma symptoms). Now that I am more informed, I am off ALL steroid sprays, which I suspect, along with two courses of antibiotics in January, really caused the yeast to overgrow. I will never go on an antibiotic again unless something is cultured first and something is growing. I really learned a lesson here. Perhaps I did have sinus infections in the past that really needed the antibiotics, but now is the time to address why I keep getting them in the first place.
http://www.healthyawareness.com/yeast-syndrome-sinus-infection.aspx
According to the good folks over at The Mayo Clinic the primary cause of 95+ percent of all sinus infections is fungal. That’s right, fungal. You know- like yeast, mold, athletes foot, jock itch etc.
If you think about it makes perfect sense. Your sinuses stay dark, moist and warm-the perfect environment to grow mold. There is a fungus amongst us and it lives in your head! Here is what’s happening: You are carrying a fungal infection all the time and it KEEPS your inner sinus passages irritated. So-you are much more likely to get sick than folks who have healthy “fungus free” sinus passages.
Antibiotics-Why they are part of the problem:
Because the antibiotics are not treating the problem! The problem is the fungal infection-The other infections (the ones you keep treating with antibiotics) you keep getting are really just symptoms (or side effects) of the fungal sinus infection you live with all the time.
And to make matters worse, the antibiotic medication you keep taking is killing your bodies natural defense-the good bacteria. And it’s the good bacteria that keeps the bad bacteria from taking over.
Let’s summarize:
You (95+
percent chance) have a fungal infection in your sinuses.
The antibiotics are actually making it worse.
It keeps coming back because antibiotics don’t kill fungus-they kill
bacteria. Good and bad bacteria. And when you kill good bacteria-anything
thats ready can jump in there and set up shop!
You need to find a way to put your body back in balance so you can get off
the sinus infection merry-go-round!
Here is what I recommend:
Find a good
natural program to put your body back in a position to take care of itself
by beating back the fungal infection that is the true cause of your
sickness.
Follow that good natural program even when you feel fine-so you don’t find
yourself here again.
If You want to check out the program that helped me here is the link: www.TheSinusInfectionCure.com
"Drugs, such as aspirin, as well as allergic inflammation of the intestinal
wall, allow partly digested food fragments, as well as bacterial endotoxins
to be absorbed. The partially digested food and bacterial endotoxins
eventually reach the brain, where they act as neurotoxins. If the body is
sufficiently sensitive (particularly as it is in young children),
neurotoxins tend to produce acute psychotic symptoms."
