[quote=Anonymous]I have a really sensitive kid who happens to have PANDAS. We do throat cultures - a lot. I've tried all the methods, telling him, gently, it's coming, preparing him, NOT preparing him (which actually works better for us, but i'll explain more) etc. Sometimes we do have to use force. We try to exhaust everything else first, within reason. But with some kids, they can get themselves so worked up over the IDEA of something, which is way worse than the thing itself. BTW, for those angry about the too rough throat culture - strep can be kind of tricky. There are false negatives. I think that they really need a good sample. But it's not comfortable and i get that. Wish they could find a better way! [/quote]
