You know that your children have recurring health issues when you can remember the ridiculous name of the medicine that the doctors like to prescribe.
Daniel, for the third year in a row (at least), has come down with an ear infection during the month of February. He barely made it, since we are less than 48 hours away from March, but he got the diagnosis in before the deadline. Amoxicillin is the prescription of choice for the pediatricians that we take the boys to. I am not sure why we continue down the amox path, since Sammy is getting more and more allergic to it, and it hasn't worked for Daniel the previous two tries, but we are nothing if not persistent. Actually, that is a mis-characterization, the amox works for Daniel, but they have to give him the boosted amox, called something like amoxicillin with augmentum. Augmentum sounds like someone out of a Marvel comic book.
'Ear Infections Beware! Augmentum is here to save the day!'
Hopefully Amoxicillin will be able to take care of this one on his own, and the trusty sidekick, Augmentum, can stay back at the Secret Medicine Cabinet Hideout.
