... DS2 (6) started on penicillin a couple of days ago for a big infected insect bite wound on his leg. His behaviour (not easy at the best of time - he has ASD) immediately deteriorated. He was a complete nightmare yesterday. Was idly looking at the ingredients on the side of the bottle and I see it's got E110 in it - otherwise known as 'Sunset Yellow', (and indeed the stuff is bright, bright orangey yellow). He's having it four times daily.
Can't believe the NHS is buying penicillin for adults and children that contains this stuff. It's a totally, totally unnecessary additive that's supposed to have been phased out of children's food products.
He's going to be on the medicine for another 10 days minimum. Don't know if I can cope with the shouting and stupid, violent behaviour that long.

AIBU?
In thinking that putting E110 in medicine is fucking bonkers?
