Question 1

My child was improving nicely but in the last few weeks has seemed to regress.  What can I do?

Accepted Answer

When recovery stops and maybe even regress, one must decide if this is a plateau or a drop in blood pressure from a physical stressor such as a sinus infection or dental problems.  The triggering of a plateau from the failure or rifaximin doesn't tend to have a regression, just a lack of progress over a few months.  Sinus infections and dental issues can cause an increase in aggression and anxiety, which are often viewed as a regression.
