Hi Penny again, I'll be much interested in what the gov't is advising about the antibiotics and children. Of course, I had a chronically ill grandson who together with his mother seemed to be always on them. Today he is 15-y-o, and seems to have outgrown most of the need for them, which is a blessing. His mom, however, still keeps getting sick. The antibiotics continue to work for her, to my amazement. Bottom line: I won't pass judgement on the use of antibiotics until I'm more sure. Perhaps it's simply a case of all individuals react differently to all illnesses, and all medications....?
