My 7 year old multiple symptoms

Question

My daughters symptoms ongoing for about 6 months.they started light & have steadily gotten worse.
She has lost about 5 lbs.in1 month.Her appetite is almost non-existent.We have to really try hard most of the time just so she will eat.
 She sleeps more now(between 10& 11 hours a night.)And she will still sometimes fall asleep during the day & at school during lunch,&twice during class.
Her behavior has also changed.She will cry & scream .She can't pinpoint anywhere that really hurts,she only says she doesn't feel good.Numerous times at school she will scream&cry (unconsolable)to go to the clinic & lay down.She does this at home also.
She has always liked school & she says she still does that she just doesn't feel well.
 She has been on antibiotics for about 6 months,for recurrent ecoli infections in bladder.Diagnosed with kidney reflux.
Had a procedure called deflux last week to try & fix it.
All symptoms started about the time she started anti.
Her doc.says the anti.won't cause these symp.& to keep a diary of symp.for a month.I would like to know something before then.
 I really believe the anti.have something to do with this.
If anyone has advice or any info on what it could be PLEASE HELP!!
      THANK YOU

does she have any fevers? your hands and feet will get cold with fevers. Also do you know if she has any allergies? some kids can't explain why they don't feel well and sometimes  it is simply they are allergic to something and generally don't feel well but can't explain they feelings. Just something to think about.  good luck

check for c-difficile this can be brought on from prolonged antibiotic therapy my daughter had the same surgery when she was 2 and came down with the same symptoms they will have to do a bowel culture.  Good luck.

shes been on ceftin,augmentin ,& septra.The Dr. did just the basic bloodwork & it was fine.He didn't think it was her thyroid
though I read that a bad bacterial infection can throw your thyroid off.Thursday I took her & no explanation,But Monday I'm
going to call back so we can find out whats going on.
                 thanks

Has she had any bloodwork? This sounds very serious. All I can suggest besides bloodwork is that you absolutely insist that the Dr. change the antibiotic. What is she taking? I know some antibiotics can make a person feel very poorly, and have loss of appetite.
