[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a young mom but have come to learn that you need to question doctors about a lot of things because if there's truly a health problem they might not be looking at it comprehensively. My child has had recurrent serious infections so has been on antibiotics a lot. I think the general push against antibiotics because of antibiotic resistance has not been coupled with doctors explaining why the antibiotic is needed and explaining that the resistance is worsened by not taking the full course. I've had nurses at the school and nurses within my own pediatrician's office question antibiotics use. The message is out that antibiotics can be bad and doctors aren't explaining well enough why they are good and how to keep them working well. It took too many infections for me to get doctors to take the problem seriously and now I'm having similar issues getting specialists to help me get to the root of why they are happening vs. just treating each one as it comes.
