Our little boy (4) has had a severe skin infection for nearly a year. It's been diagnosed as a bacterial (strep) infection but four courses of different antibiotics have failed. The paediatrician is now saying they are reluctant to prescribe any more - "we'll have to manage it somehow".
DS is in tears every night and every morning. It's very upsetting and frankly very worrying.
Has anyone had any success with alternative therapies where conventional medicine failed over a bacterial infection? I'd be really grateful for any clues.
Thanks
