Avalox/contact Sports?

Updated

My thirteen year old son(140 lbs) had a strong bacterial infection involving his salivary glands. His face was very swollen. In order to avoid hospitalization(IV), the doctor prescribed avalox. He finished it 2 days ago. When is it safe to return to bball(his passion) w/out risk to his tendons?This is his life and he is distraught. He is an integral part of 2 teams, but we obviously do not want to compromise his health.

I suggest speaking to his doctor about this, that way you will get advice on the safest time frame.

Avelox and the class of antibiotics that it is in are known as Quinolone Antibiotics. The Quinolones have a long history of damaging effects on cartilage and tendon, and are contraindicated for use in children who have are not fully grown. It seems like this is a grave error on the part of your doctor and you should question him to see if there are better alternatives that could avoid the very rare but potentially damaging Avelox Side Effects that could be experienced.
