Mgt: The NIH has important information which can be found online describing PANDAS. The Strep infection leads to an antibody reaction associated with symptoms of PANDAS. The antibiotic is treating the infection, but is not used to treat PANDAS directly. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed.
