Whose taken cefuroxim (oraxim)?
My son takes this, along with azithromycin.
Last week we had to double his dosage of cefuroxim as he has grown so much, and was basically underdosed for a while.
The recent regression of symptoms seems to be reversing I think. He has stopped stuttering!!!! Hurrah! And he hasn't complained of light hurting his eyes in the last few days.
But he has become spectacularly tetchy and cries at the drop of a hat or else melts down into screaming fits. The only way to calm him down is basically give him whatever he wants, which is usually junk food to eat or excessive TV watching. I don't want to let discipline go out of the window, but he is clearly feeling down and emotional and in need of a lot of TLC, n top of clearly feelng very crummy with his lyme disease, so I don't want to be overly harsh with him.
I have sometimes had antibiotics making me feel like this, and I am trying to figure out if it is a side effect of the cefuroxim, or a herx reaction.
So those of you who have taken cefuroxim, (or not!) what do you reckon?
