When you're me you try to help them fight it off on their own, with the help of some homeopathic over the counter aides. But, when they stay sick for more than two weeks.... You cave and give them antibiotics.
I heard this horrible study on the radio recently that solidified my desire to restrict antibiotics from my kids. Basically, it shows links between kids with asthma having antibiotics as infants.
As if I didn't have reason enough to keep them away, now my baby could develop asthma?!
I just feel that we should let our bodies get rid of the bacteria on their own, and develop the antibodies for the next time around. We should let our bodies do the work. However, I do believe that there are cases where medical intervention is necessary.
So since Gideon has gone almost 5 years without the need of antibiotics, and Harper is almost a year old (I know, but that is a different post), I decided that the doctor was in fact right this time.
And of course now momma has the same symptoms. And you better believe that I feel vindicated going to the doctor tomorrow.
