[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think overprescribing is generally a thing of the past - our childhoods, moreso than our kids'. If my kid is getting prescribed an antibiotic, it's really only for something that needs an antibiotic (like strep) to avoid progressing to something worse. [/quote] Not true. Doctors offer them for most ear infections still. The research does not support it but it is done anyway.[/quote] Most ear infections are bacterial. Less than 10% are mild viral with no other symptoms. They might start at viral, congestion in the ear from a viral cold. It’s at risk to become bacterial infection. High fevers come with viral illnesses and bacterial illnesses. Bacterial ear infections are usually more painful. I’m not going to take a risk that my child’s is the viral one. [/quote] This is incorrect.[/quote] You have to state what part is incorrect or your statement is worthless. [/quote]
