I have 2 children with tonsillitis. Both prescribed phenoxymethyl-penicillin. The elder after taking it on the 1st day (3 doses) came out in an itchy rash. On speaking to the pharmacist this morn I went back to gp and they have now prescribed klaricid paediatric suspension - clarithromycin. MY QUESTION - the 1st is a nightmare to administer they both hated it and the youngest especially will violently fight against it. the 2nd is only twice a day instead of 4 and seems to taste a lot better got youngest to try a drop. bearing in mind I've got 8 more days to go should I go back and try and get the new option for the younger one. why is the vile one the 1st option cost? effectiveness? habit? Day 2 and I am not sure I can complete a 10 day course with the youngest running out of bribes and the better he feels the harder it will be! WWYD
