Jean (1 year ago):

My grandson passed away in 2008 In the autopsy it showed "somewhat flattened gyri" We are trying to figure out how this could have benn in a 9 1/2 month old. The only really odd thing he had happen was when he was born he started running a fever and was given gentimicin by an IV in the head. This IV infiltrated. Is there a connection. I know the hospital kept him an extra 489 hour and we had to apply heat packs to his head. Because of that I know it was serious.

  • I am allergic to all antibiotics;and had this same reaction. To cipro and macrobid prior to talk g gentamicin.

    Gentamicin was the last option for me,and now I am having debilitating cramping throughout my body, uncontrollable muscle spasms that make me flinch and cause my limbs to twitch severely making them flail. I have felt my diaphragm cramp over and over, and the only thing that seems to settle this somewhat is an antihistamine.

    I am very scared and need guidance
