[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, my kids are 10 and 6 and neither has ever been prescribed amoxicillin (or any antibiotic, for that matter).[/quote]

Yes, this. Exactly.  You don't want your kid on Amoxicillin, or any other antibiotic, very often.

Seriously?  I’m sure the OP would prefer their child doesn’t have to take antibiotics and I think among the dcum type crowd people are pretty aware that you should limit use as much as possible. This question was very specifically about a dye issue. Not a question of whether the antibiotics were necessary. Count yourself very lucky your child hasn’t faced more serious illnesses instead of being out to make other parents feel bad. [/quote]

It’s still a reasonable point that if OP’s kid takes ABX even 3x/year, we’re still only talking about $30. I cannot imagine the aggravation and time being worth it... especially as that would be incredibly often to be on a specific ABX as she ages. (I have 3 kids and a pediatrician for a husband and 1 kid has been on antibiotics once. I get that I don’t know OP’s kid, but I admit I am skeptical of anyone who thinks they will be using enough of one specific ABX for a long enough period of time to make $10 per prescription add up... Like some of the PPs I would be looking for other docs/solutions. I am not anti-ABX, but it’s a fact that they are massively over prescribed.)[/quote]
