Entropymama Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 My poor dd has been sick for six weeks. It started as strep and was treated with amoxicillin. After four days she broke out in a full body rash (blotchy, not raised, pink). It was assumed this was a reaction to the medication so we switch her to azithromycin (z-pack) which she completed. The rash went away but her headache, stomachache and fatigue have continued. She has no fever, has been eating and drinking fine (she doesn't want to but is good about making herself eat). She's getting worse in the last few days and now has yellow stools and yellow/greenish urine. It's not strep, we tested. It's not mono, we tested. Blood panel is clear, no white blood cell issues. We're at a loss. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) This is a long shot but I know someone whose DD had this recently so it's worth sharing: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/henoch-schonlein-purpura/symptoms-causes/dxc-20209937 ETA: I don't think that article says anything about it, but the girl I know had been recovering from strep as well when she got the rash, and the condition is thought to be triggered by strep.

EKS Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It sounds like something having to do with the liver/gallbladder. She needs to see a doctor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) The new symptoms sound like the flu, and dehydration. Possibly she got it when her immune system was weakened from the strep. It's definitely worth checking out with the dr, though. Edited March 15, 2017 by wintermom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I would suspect a false negative on the mono test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropymama Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 She's been in, several times. Mono and strep have been negative but on today's blood draw they're doing a more accurate (?) Epstein Barr panel so maybe that's still it. We are also doing a metabolic screen and testing for celiac, although I think that's a long shot. Thanks for the link, I'll dive into that as soon as I get a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As far as the green urine...B vitamins can cause that, so if she is taking B vitamin supplements, it is a likely cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not something we had considered - thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
