Beyond the resistance stuff there seems to be mounting evidence that giving kids antibiotics effects their health down the road. Not giving them here and there when they might really need them but prescribing them frequently. My kid is two and a half and still hasn't had antibiotics which I'm pretty happy about. She has had frequent winter colds colds and a few earaches but nothing we haven't gotten through. Her doctor seems pretty hesitant to prescribe them as well, she always get the bad news demeanor when she tells us she thinks we should just trudge through an illness while we are absolutely on the same page.
