My DD (7) is currently off school with her 5th illness this year. I say 5th because I've been tracking how often the illness appears. It's the same symptoms every time - fever, sore throat, sore tummy & vomiting.
She's had one treatment of penicillin when it was really bad and we've treated the other episodes at home with painkillers and rest. The doctor that we saw diagnosed strep throat and I think it's the same problem that reoccurs every time.
Having read up on reoccurring strep throat I've now discovered that it could be linked to other issues DD has been having.
Namely a tic of her head and unusually a deterioration in her handwriting which has been raised by the school teacher.
From what I've read this could be something called PANDA's.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
I'm due to see my gp this afternoon but wondered if I should mention anything about PANDAS?
