We are treating Bartonella now while also treating lyme. Currently taking Omniceft, zithromax and tinidazole, have been on this for 2 months. I think his pain issue now is bartonella, as he has been having muscle pain on and off in his upper leg and arm, and also just noticed a bump on his arch of his foot.
Has anyone had any success in clearing bartonella from a child? I know you cannot give the quinolone abx to a child/teen and see that for many this is the drug that has helped them the most. I would guess our next step would be to move on to Rifamphin.
Any advice on what to do next? What has worked for others?
