I know I'm late but I was sorry to read this. We all try to do the best we can for our children, with the help of those we think know best.

After one HORRIBLE experience at a Western medicine doctor's office when our daughter was very young, we immediately switched over to less invasive healing techniques and practitioners who believe in those methods.

Over 10 years later, our daughter remains healthy and we have never had any adverse reactions.

Ugh! My kids are allergic to many antibiotics, it was no fun finding out. Hope all is well by now :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad that the rash finally went away. I am allergic to penicilin & got a rash when I was a kid. Now I'm wondering if my 2 year old could be allergic too.

I'm so surprised to hear of this - Amoxycillin...

I'm so surprised to hear of this - Amoxycillin is so widely prescribed here! I never knew the potential side effects, and just assumed they it was fairly benign. I absolutely do not believe in over medicating our kids or our selves. Now thanks to over-use of antibiotics, so called super bugs are developing that cannot be stopped easily.

Thank goodness you learned this about Amoxycillin and shared it with us - it could have been so much worse for your daughter. She is very lucky. (And don't beat yourself up - it's not your fault!)

Thanks for sharing this story. Thanks for stopping by my blog - you have a delightful blog yourself!

I'm a huge fan of NOT taking antibiotics! Doctors seem to be so quick to prescribe them for every little thing, but they aren't good for our bodies!! I have rarely treated my son with antibiotics...they are just too scary!!

I hope your baby is feeling better soon!

This is so awful! Why, in the Philippines it's as easy as pie to buy Amoxicillin in drugstores. In fact I bought 10pcs because anti-biotics are not usually sold here in Sweden without prescriptions. I took one dose which I thought would help relieve my cough. But thank heavens, I'm not allergic to it.

I hope your little girly feels much better now.

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your little one! It...

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your little one! It's not nice when we find the medicine is doing more harm than good. Perhaps your post will save someone else the heartache of having to go through the same experience.

Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way! x

my son is allergic to amoxicillin too! I think it's pretty common. It's so hard to see our babies sick. and even worse when we are trying to help them and it only gets worse.

2009-09-28T08:06:30.073-07:00

That happened to my son as well. When he was not even one. He had loads of ear infections, and they gave him amoxycillin and he broke out in hives. Even on the bottom of his feet. He is allergic to penicillin and that is how we found out! It was horrible and scary, but we now know. My daughter has the swine flu and they gave her the tameflu to take and it gave her hallucinations. We stopped giving it to her.

Good blog, wise words. We hope your angel's ear problems are all gone now. The cure should never be worse then the disease.

Good post. We found out that one of my sons was allergic to Amoxicillin the same way. Lucky for us, the wife is a nurse and noticed symptoms in the first few days before much bigger problems occured.

I read somewhere that 80% of ear infections don't need antibiotics.

I'm sorry to hear about your little angel. How can the doctors be so careless to give this antibiotic they should take a look at it first before prescribing. Before I was so angry whenever i go to the doctor and they don't prescribe any anti biotic you in the Philippines because they will always check if it viral then no anti biotic will help they just prescribe anti biotic if it is bacterial infection and of course they will ask you if you are allergic or not.
That's terrible to a child and hank God you act just as fast as what should any parent do.
I really hope that she will get better asap.
Hope this week will be better:)
