And yet the Dr gives them out in exactly the same circumstances as I would if I could. Perhaps more liberally, since Im far more concerned about the consequences to my kids of destroying their gut flora.
You are correct. I arrive at conclusions based on my life experiences and what I've learned along the way.
We literally give industrial quantities of antibiotics to animals. So antibiotic preservation is not an honest reason to lock them up
Tylenol and Advil can very quickly mess up your kid's liver and kidneys if you misdose. Yet, they're over the counter. So safety does not appear to be an honest reason either.
Ironically, statistically considering the forum, most ppl who are against me on this thread believe in drug liberalization including opiates; the one class for drugs I would keep behind the pharmacist's counter.
Btw, antibiotics are available over the counter in Europe. The ones Id use and feel comfortable using
So Ive been told.

Then the doctor is doing a bad job.
Making all antibiotics available over the counter would not improve the situation.
Im on my fifth (?) pediatrician. This one's the first one I even like as a person.
