Cat scratch disease

LLMom · 08-07-2006, 09:28 AM

I think my son has cat scratch disease. I took him to the dr. because he had a swollen lymph node under his arm pit. She did a blood test and we are waiting for the results. She gave me a prescription for Zithromax, which I really don't want to give him because after I researched it, I found there is a possible pending FDA warning on it for liver failure. Plus I read on several sites that it usually will go away on its own in about 3 weeks. Does anyone know any herbal/natural remedies? I have been giving him lots of vitamin C and echinechia. It seems to have become more tender in the last few days. Any experience with this?

hope your dc feels better soon, other than the vit c, and echinacea, the only thing i would maybe add is gse and some probiotics.

dh had a softball sized swelling under his arm just over a year ago, that the dr thought was catscratch fever....
