I have chronic sore throat too.
I suspect it can be EBV.
Do you give him something antiviral?

Symptom relief - nothing cold, hot, sparkling, sour.
Gargle throat with camomile tea, water with sea salt, water with ACV.

I was actually wondering if it was a viral component that you are dealing with as well- as those are also common viral symptoms. You know a lot about what you are doing already for the infections with so many in your house that have needed treatment (talk about a crash course!!!), that you likely have that pretty well covered.

I've been getting the bi-weekly sore throat/tonsils inflamed, low grade fever thing, this week was sure it was developing into something more, since I have increased air hunger/chest pressure and my voice deepened, but the sore throat has eased up. I ended up thinking EBV instead of another kind of infection.

Daisies, I think you have excellent instincts and I'd trust your gut on this one. Would it hurt to try the antivirals for a bit? Do those make him feel worse?

Relapsing sore throat is a fairly common symptom of Bartonella according to this doctor:

Yes I've always attributed my sore throat flares to Bart. Just like the article states, I'll wake up with a low-level one thinking I may be getting sick but it goes away quickly.

When I was treating for Bart with Rifampin I would for a few days in the beginning wake with my throat on fire like I've never felt but again it dissapeared quickly.

Feeling weak and fluey is one of my main symptoms as well. Hope this helps.

We tried them for all the kids last summer, and he had no reaction to them (good or bad). But yes, I can try them again for him. Wouldn't hurt to try again. smile

PS Did you get a new yellow ball for your friend?!?

Had to get orange, and he is not in love with it.

Have you had a chance to put a hit on the periodic cycle yet or is it too soon to ask?

Sorry to be dense, but what do you mean? smile

"Kid#1 However, he's not out of the woods yet. Every few weeks, he is getting significant flares of feeling like the flu. Sometimes, he will go several weeks between a flare (usually, it seems that he has a really minor one inbetween). The primary symptoms are sore throat and feeling weak, like having the flu. It has become worse over time."

Apparently they were out. I wasn't the buyer, but that's what I was told.
Plus, he's been acting super depressed and only interested in eating and laying in the sun.
I hope he doesn't have Lyme! lol. (knock on wood)

That can also point to relapsing rickettsia. Time and symptoms seem to fit.
