This is a misdiagnosis.
Nothing kills bacteria better than these drugs.
If your infection is sensitive to these drugs, they are the best drugs out there.
From an adverse effect profile, they're also much more benign than other drugs.
Unless you happen to be allergic.
Penicillin allergy was described immediately after penicillin was released.
And it's the same with all drugs.
You release new drugs and we find patients that are allergic.
But antibiotic allergy is misdiagnosed most of the time.
When we have infections, we get rashes.
Yeah, especially in children.
Children get rashes when they have infections.
Those infections are treated with antibiotics.
There's misattribution of allergy.
Absolutely.
For years and years, we have had this idea that an infection requires antibiotics.
And only like past five, 10 years, we've tried to pull back on that because of antibiotic resistance.
Don't act too fast, right?
I think it's good to be a really busy parent and not be on top of it and rushing them in right away.
Yeah, and some people do it better than others.
