Generally I agree, 100% on not medicating to death every little

symptom that comes along...but if you've an actual infection that is

SPREADING...you may not want to take too many chances, esp w/ a

kid's eyes.

The other thing to consider is the state of said immune

system...if you've an immunocompromised person on your hands (as

many here do) they are not on a level playing field to start with.

If the infection is bad enough to warrent an abx script, best to

catch it early, follow the protocol and finish the round (even if

symptoms improve before you're thru). And imo, whether or not it is

swallowed or absorbed or whatever, best to really push great

nutrition and some probiotics during. JMO.

Hope little one feels better soon :-)
