My daughter is currently on antibiotics to treat double ear infections, and I'm currently about ready to offer her up to the highest bidder. Though if the bidders see her behavior lately, there won't be much bidding.
I kid, of course (mostly), because typically she is a sweet, sunny, sassy little thing who I love more than anything in the world. But get some antibiotics into my little princess, and the castle starts to crumble.
She is a whiny, crying mess. She shrieks with a scary, high-pitched wail I've never heard before while flailing her limbs. She has even tried to attack everyone in the house. I'm considering making her wear a t-shirt when we're in public that reads: "Not a brat, just on antibiotics."
So why don't doctors mention this little side effect or why don't the bottles come with warning labels (caution: your child may make you want to stick your head in the oven ... or anywhere quiet)?
Thankfully, we're almost done with this dose, so with any luck, my lovely daughter will soon reemerge, and we'll all try to just forget the horror of the past week ... and hope it's not a glimpse into what the "3s" may hold.
