Well, at least the next time you need tylenol or motrin or whatever you'll be able to grab the clear kind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2582695 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:50:41 +0000 Madison43 2582695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: we ended up taking her off it altogether because the reaction was so bad and the ped said her ear looked ok. I did however end up in argument with out pharmacist who insisted there there was no red dye in it when I asked if they carried the dye free version. First, it's on the inactive ingredient list from the manufacturer and second, it's hot pink! She was all "the powder is white - it only turns pink when you add water - there's no dye" :shocked: Uh, I feel like you should have a better understanding of chemistry. Time for a new pharmacy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2582553 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:17:46 +0000 MrsSRS 2582553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: Did that help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579355 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 21:08:07 +0000 Madison43 2579355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I was wondering what the clear would taste like! Looks like Walgreens carries dye free suspensions in a variety of flavors if anyone is ever looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579336 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 20:50:55 +0000 FaithFertility 2579336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: DD is 18 months and on it now too for an ear infection, ours is clear and smells like bubblebubble gum she seems fine after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579309 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 20:29:00 +0000 pastemoo 2579309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579246 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:31:21 +0000 MrsSRS 2579246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope that's it! Make sure any ibuprofen or tylenol is the dye free kind, too. Fortunately, that's super easy to find. Most store brands are clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579233 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:16:01 +0000 Madison43 2579233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: @pastemoo: yeah, I'm doing that right now. Thank you guys so much! My husband thought I was crazy but she was acting SO different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579225 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:11:04 +0000 MrsSRS 2579225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some pharmacies can skip the dye or offer a different color/flavor. Might be worth calling to ask? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579221 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:08:23 +0000 pastemoo 2579221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: yes. Especially with red dye </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579220 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:07:51 +0000 MrsSRS 2579220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Especially red dyes. It makes some kids hyperactive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579212 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:57:46 +0000 Madison43 2579212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is pink. Is dye sensitivity a real thing? No being sarcastic - I really don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579211 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:55:52 +0000 MrsSRS 2579211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it pink? Maybe she's sensitive to dyes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-reaction-to-amoxicillin#post-2579202 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:38:58 +0000 Madison43 2579202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does amoxicillin cause hyperactivity in anyone else's child? My 8 month is on it now for an ear infection and after every dose she acts like a crazy baby. I give it to her after breakfast and dinner so she has food in her tummy and when I go to put her down for a nap or to bed shortly after, she acts crazy. Back arching, noodling off my lap, swinging her arms and grabbing whatever she can reach, banging her head into my chest, sitting up and slamming herself back down - the only way I can describe is that she's acting extremely hyper. I know her stomach is bothering her (she's on a probiotic to address) but I have no idea what the deal with this is. </p>
