[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s happened to all three of my kids in recent years. When symptoms lasted longer than a week or so, or worsened, we have been told to return and then are given antibiotics. Everything seems to clear up from that point. What’s going on with this? Is it to see if antibiotics are needed or too much reliance on the RSV, Strep, Flu, COVID swabs? Is it the way my kids present with illness? [/quote] It must be frustrating, but the bigger picture is that your ped is sending your children and 300 other kids home without antibiotics, and they fully expect 20-30 to return and require antibiotics. It just so happens that your kids are the ones returning. They are correct not to immediately prescribe antibiotics because it is most likely a viral infection that won’t become bacterial.[/quote]
