re: Wtf happened to penicillin?

My mom used to bring me in for every cough and get abx. I remember my dad bitching at her for doing that
I hated that awful pink souplike penicillin :gross:
My kids have had them one or two times.
They have been prescribed abx way more than that but I won't give it to them unless I think they really need it. I always go back for the check up and get the all clear tho.
About Three years ago Drs quit handing it out like candy.
