We have, however, had a few health issues arise ...
- She had/has Giardia (a GI parasite) - this was detected by a faecal exam soon after getting home. We treated it, then re-tested clean. However, follow-up testing reveals that the little bug-a-boos still lurk - so we are onto treatment regimen #2 - longer this time. Giardia can be stubborn to get rid of. She has been pretty much asymptomatic (can see diarrhea, bloating, cramps), and I suspect she has had this parasite for most of her little life.
- Her TB (Mantoux) test came back positive - likely a result of infant vaccination, but possible an indicator of latent TB. So, we are now about 1 mo into a 9-mo trt regimen for that.
She is getting resigned to the constant syringing of yucky-tasting liquids into her mouth - but it's no fun.
Is she taking liquid INH? One of our sons was on liquid and the other on tablets. I found it so difficult to get the liquid into our 1 year old that I also had him put on the tablets. I just crush them and put them in yogurt or applesuace at bedtime, MUCH easier than the liquid...
