now that you say that i went back to make sure because i keep a log of every time she takes oral abx & why to make sure & they did give abx...she also had a very bad snotty nose....we went to the ped not the cf clinic...do they not normally get abx?

i have noticed that my ped constantly give her abx every time we walk in the door--does anyone elses ped do this? theres another dr in my peds office that we don't normally see but one time we went to her & she told me that because my dd had cf that she should be on abx every day....needless to say we didn't see her that day but still.

i had never even heard of "fifths" until holly had it.

My drs tried not to put me on antibiotics unless they were sure it was bacterial, hoping to avoid some of the resistance that we already deal with. The snotty nose definitely can come along with Fifth's, so that one I'm not sure about. The only thing I can think of, is they are hoping to keep her from secondary infections? I know when I've had a couple viruses that were known to be nasty, I was given antibiotics in hopes that it would help fight off secondary infections.
