I have a 7 year old daughter. She has a hx of asthma. On March 7th one of her medications was switched, Flovent to Alvesco. On March 20 she was diagnosed with A Strep throat infection and mono. Over the last 3 weeks she has been complaining of severe hand pain especially at night. The pain wakes her up 3-4 times a night. Nothing seems to help it. I have tried heat, massage, and NSAIDS. What could be causing this? Her doctor is doing blood test and we should hear back by next week.
The streptococcus affects the joints also asthma is allergic but if streptococcus is confirmed it might have involved the joints leading to pain in hands I think the better option is to inject long acting penicillin 3 injections after 1 month after sensitivity testate present you can give antibiotic definite dose for 5 days according to age and light analgesic and continue treatment of asthma
