I Do NOT Like Amoxicillin!
No pictures - just a quick post about Scoots. Remember how he was doing better??? Well, that was short-lived. He ended up having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin and broke out in what is called an "amoxicillin rash". It normally occurs about 5-7 days after the antibiotic is started. I wish he had never even been put on that particular medication, because it never, ever worked on my kiddos and rarely works on most others. Needless to say, the doc took Weston off of the amoxil and, because his ears are still infected, he is now on omnicef - a much more potent drug so hopefully this one will get in there and knock out the ear infection for good!

Hey Doris! So sorry about Weston. Easton has been struggling with ear infections also! He was on Cefzil and that didn't work so now he's on Augmentin which I think is the same as Amoxicillin. Then yesterday he was throwing up all day. Today was better but he still won't eat solids. Tonight when I put him to bed it seemed like his ears were bothering him still!!! These poor baby boys!!
