Herxing

When did you start to herx? DD started abx night before last doxy 2x day and azith 1x day. Got sick about an hour after taking the two last night so not sure of how much she got into her system. Her temp has stayed relatively low today 99-99.4 and only went up to 100 once for about an hour and she was sweating like crazy for that time (in our 72 house). So I think the abx are starting to work a bit. She also has become very light sensitive too (which wasn't a previous symptom) I'm just wondering when it's going to get bad for her? Her main symptoms are abdominal pain, headache, and low grade fever so should I expect the herx to make those worse ? Tia!

First of all, I'm so sorry for your daughter. Herxing is no fun!!

Herxing can start with the first dose for those with high bacterial loads and impaired detoxing pathways, or there are some people that actually never herx because their detoxing pathways are working very well. So there's no right or wrong.

Did she start off taking both abx or did she start them one at a time? If she started both of them, stop one of them until she can better handle it - maybe a week or 10 days?

Is she detoxing? Considering her response, she needs to be detoxing quite a bit. There are things she can do to combat her nausea - like ginger tea 3 times a day, and there are pharma meds that can help too, and you can get her a pair of sunglasses she can wear even inside the house if needed to help with her light sensitivities.
