Amoxicillin Side Effects

When our son was very young, he had chronic ear infections, as many young children do. At that time, the treatment most often implemented was the surgical implant of "tubes" to assist in the drainage of the ear.

We recently realized that my youngest daughter had an allergy to amoxicillin. This common allergy is one of the most dangerous, and amoxicillin side effects should be clearly understood before its use.

Amoxicillin is in the Penicillin family and is used to treat bacterial infections.

Amoxicillin and I go way back. I used to take the liquid version when I was a child suffering from ear infections. We lovingly refer to it as "the pink stuff."
