Antibiotic Problems?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had any trouble with Augmentin? My 7 year old son is taking Augmentin for a sinus infection, and he is extremely irritable and hyperactive. I'm curious to see if anyone else has had an issue with this before. He's taken antibiotics in the past, and I've never noticed it to be a nervous system problem. It's usually just a problem with G.I. (causing diarrhea and loss of appetite).

He is breathing fine, not taking any other cold meds. He's sleeping well, just restless trying to get to sleep. He is doing a little better now with the irritability. His stomach is better too. I'm a giving him an adult probiotic twice a day, and I will continue to do so after he finishes the antibiotics. Thanks everyone for all the great advice!

Is it the antibiotic, pain, or lack of sleep, I wonder. If he has a sinus infection is he taking any other medications at all, even Afrin nasal spray? I would suspect loss of sleep from having an obstructed airway due to the infection and inflammation and/or side effect of another cold medication or possibly medication interaction. Just a thought.

Yes, I am. He takes probiotics everyday anyway, but I've increased it to twice a day.
