Our young daughter has a bacterial infection but isn’t actually ill (discharge from fufu). The GP has taken a swab and pescribed antibiotics. The antibiotics are liquid form and she won’t take them as its yucky.
Pharmacist has said its not available in a different flavour or tablet form – children need to have medicine. This sounds like BS on both counts – surely my GP can prescribe whatever they choose?
On the one hand I think its not worth her taking ABs if there’s no symptoms, but on the other maybe this is being proactive before it develops in to something else?
There are symptoms, you’ve described them.
Honestly, just try to work out how to get her to take it, rather than try to second-guess your GP / Pharmacist using a Cycling Forum for research material.
There could be any number of reasons why they prescribed what they did, they don’t have time to regurgitate many years of training and experience to justify it and if it was as easy as picking one that tasted nice, we’d just be able to buy them over the counter like Calpol.
