in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

My little guy tested positive for strep this morning :(  the doc prescribed Amoxicillin.  Have any of your LO's ever taken it?  Did they have any reactions?  Everything I'm reading online is freaking me out...

    DS has been on it twice for ear infections.  No reactions.

    As long as they don't have an allergy, yes it is fine for a 10 month old. DS took it for the first time at like 4 months.

    It should be fine, if it was not then your doc would not have prescribed it. My DS has had it a few times for ear infections and he was just fine. If your little one has not had it just watch for an allergic reaction.

    DS was on it for 10 days around 10 months old for strep.  He was fine, no reactions or issues.

    My little ones have been on it plenty of times. Some say it causes loose stools, so watch for possible rash.

    DS was prescribed this and as it turns out he is allergic.  He broke out in hives and a really bad rash.  This kind of reaction is a standard first time exposure reaction, if a child is allergic.  Chances are your child will be fine, but if
