I'm using the drops again and it already seems cleared up. The ped told me to dose for one more day after symptoms subside so I think I'll do two days this time just to be sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570194 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 07:31:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2570194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: @Corduroy: I think my LOs pink eye might be coming back. The ped was so vague with the treatment plan I thought it didn't matter that much but it was kind of crusty and pink again this morning. 😖 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570188 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 07:16:29 +0000 ShootingStar 2570188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We draw the same grid that's in the pic posted, but we put it on the whiteboard in our kitchen, not the bottle. It's easier for us to see and be reminded when it's on the whiteboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570185 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 06:53:48 +0000 catlady 2570185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put alarms on my phone for everything these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570168 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 03:46:16 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2570168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sharpie on the bottle or write on the box itself. Dates and dash marks. I think I originally saw it on Pinterest and thought it was pure genius! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570157 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 00:10:23 +0000 ALV91711 2570157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: I like the chart on the bottle, great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570150 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 22:19:23 +0000 MamaG 2570150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a chart on the refrigerator. If it's two doses a day, I will count off the days on our calendar in our kitchen (putting the day number in the corner of the day on the calendar). I then make an X on each number with each cross of the X being a dose. Now that our girl is older the refrigerator chart works really well for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570147 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 21:48:05 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2570147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: my girl is just getting over pink eye too! Out drops are 3x a day, so I assign giving medicine to different activities are are fixed points. I used diaper changes (wake-up, mid-day, and bedtime) but we were on vacation for most of the week and i forgot quite a few doses. It was gone for two days but came back this morning. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570091 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 18:30:47 +0000 sunny 2570091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I setup alarms on my phone. I also record that we've given the doses on Baby Connect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570090 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 18:27:54 +0000 pregnantbee 2570090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: This idea is awesome! I make a similar chart, but post it in a very visible spot in the kitchen which is where we give the meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570077 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 17:36:29 +0000 ustechie 2570077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either alarm on the phone or chart on the fridge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570076 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 17:24:40 +0000 Corduroy 2570076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Oh, I like this strategy. We will also have to have daycare give some doses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570075 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 17:13:41 +0000 Charm54 2570075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this;</p> <p>The worst part for me is remembering to pick it up from daycare (if they do a mid day dose). I recently discovered my pharmacy will split it into two bottles so I can just leave one there. So much easier! </p> [attach=2503/16/o8zn2t.400x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570067 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:22:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2570067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suck at this. But we just had pink eye and they just said to use the ointment until it cleared up and then a few days after that to be sure. Which I guess ended up being like six days. Our pediatrician also said to give them "ideally" four times a day which led me to believe it's not as important on the timing as other antibiotics? Now I'm worried I should have them up. It's so annoying giving them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-method-for-remembering-antibioticsmedicines#post-2570066 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:19:41 +0000 Corduroy 2570066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO woke up with pink eye. We got antibiotic drops. 4x per day for 7 days. I'm worried I'll forget doses or completely forget after a few days. </p> <p>What's your method for remembering to give medicine? </p>
