A relative of mine whom I am very close to and who is also a student in my class is 4 years old and has recently changed his behavior dramatically, prior to Christmas he was very sweet, he would get along well with other children, write his name, participate in activities and be very helpful. He has had strep throat three times since Christmas and now he gets very angry, has uncontrollable crying and is distant. He can no longer sit still in his chair or write his name or color or anything. He doesn't play with the other children and will get obsessed with a toy or object such as keys and will not do anything else. He yells out random things and growls. I don't know what happened to him and had never heard of PANDAS before but we want to do something to get him back before it is too late. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is so heartbreaking.
