Forgot to mention that it was the gelcap form of amoxacillin and he didn't get any pain/fever medicine today. I don't use liquids/syrups if at all possible since so many of them need to be refrigerated and that makes it harder to remember and he doesn't like them anyways. I avoid the chewables as well since I don't want him to start munching on his regular AED's.
Morganthe - that is awesome that she as been AB free for so long, what's your secret?

LOL - no secret, I guess. I didn't even think AB free since 10 days old was any great accomplishment.
DD's had some really bad colds & fevers since from 6 months old, but Tylenol and Triaminic controlled the worst of them until they lessened. Her thing during the first 24 months was sewer bottom blow-out diaper diarrhea at the drop of a hat that didn't have any solution except time and living on a diet of bread & breast milk to slow output. I hated those weeks
Once we moved to TX, we were both really sick every 4-5 weeks until last Oct with colds & fevers.
I just would wait 24 hours and she would start improving. But I also have the opinion that a low-mid grade fever is helpful to the body to fight off the illness. If it hit over 103.5, I'd likely have her in the dr's lickety split!
Her fevers were almost secretive and just hid themselves in her naturally warm body temp (I went in her room last night. It was about 60F -- her foot was hanging out of the covers and it was HOT!
) It's only been during the last 2 months that she'll tell me she's not feeling well. But she's never had an ear infection in her life, but then again, DH & I also never had them. He was bottle fed & I was nursed. It's probably just dumb luck since my brother had horrific ear infections.
I realize that the chewable tablets also have flavoring & coloring, but the 1 small tablet she sucks on (doesn't chew) is so much less amount to swallow in proportion than the 1 1/2 tbsp of syrup she's supposed to take. And she doesn't fight it! Life is so much easier for it

each day gains 2 minutes of daylight.
There's no such thing as Twilight in the south. Sun's down and it's full dark within 15 minutes no matter the time of year. I miss twilight
