My three year old is on a Zithromax for pandas. He got a very runny nose and is acting koo koo. His friend that he sat with on the bus has strep.
Can he get strep while on antibiotics?

Not in my experience. However being exposed to strep will bring out panda behaviors.

It never hurts to test. There are gram negative and gram positive types of strep, and the antibiotic you are giving may not be the right one for the type of strep he has.
I currently have strep AND an acute sinus infection. I'm taking Amoxycare. It's been a week already, and it's not clearing up. If I don't feel better by the time I finish this pack, I'm probably going to have to take Cipro.
Cipro is like dropping a nuclear bomb to get rid of an ant hill. It works, but it kills everything in it's path in the process.

My pediatrician said this. The titer levels go up when they are around strep even if they don't have the infection.

Always check , my son was not himself went back to the doctor, and even though he was on Zithromax he tested positive for strep. So don’t let anyone tell you they can’t get strep while on antibiotics. But side note, If child is exposed to strep or a virus they can react to that even without contracting the strep.

Thanks for the replies. So I will have him tested. But in the event the strep is negative. Is there anything that can be done about pandas flairup. Or will it pass?

If its a flare from being exposed, you can do ibuprophen, naproxen, an anti histamine, epsom salt baths, Gaba, l theanine, magnesium or whatever else you usually do for inflammation or flares.

Ask your doctor this question. Many doctors have different approaches to this.
