Last monday DD who is 8 months had a burst ear drum, i took the GP who said thats what it was but as she was so well in herself, no temp and perfectly happy, she gave me a prescription for anti biotics but said not to get them and give them to her unless she started to get actually unwell (you honestly wouldnt of known anything was wrong with her except her ear was super gross)
I have mentioned to friends/colleagues what has happened and that she has been a little up and down since, not poorly just a bit whingier.
Now they are all telling me im cruel for not getting the prescription, how would i like it etc.
So i went to the pharmacist and explained everything who agreed with me that unless she is getting worse then not to give them her and she will fight it.
I agree with the pharmacist, i think anti biotics are over used and people should be more reluctant to use them especially with all the resistance going on atm.
So AIBU to not get the antibiotics? Am i being a bad mum?
