My child was recently treated with antibiotics and since then is giggling excessively, not as focused, very hyperactive and easily frustrated. What should I do?
The immune response of infections, especially something as strong as COIVD or influenza, can cause a concussion-like effect in the nervous system. I tell my patients (assuming they are on the protocol and were improving previously) to wait a month or two, and the symptoms from the “immune concussion” will resolve on their own. If recovery does not occur, I then look at the possibility that inulin failure might have happened, and a switch to rifaximin would be necessary.
