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 the past five, ten 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. There are these fantastic discharge prescriptions that aren't actual prescriptions. Things like rest and drink plenty of water and Nana's chicken soup.

If you have an allergy, you treat with this, but everyone else who doesn't have an allergy gets this. I realized that what we were calling allergy was mostly side effects.

Sure. Maybe could get the job done, but by kind of making a mess. Yeah.
