My 18 mth old was prescribed this medication for the Croup. He took it at 5:30 pm & by 11:00 pm he was writhing ariund on the floor screaming & hitting us, which is VERY uncommon for him. My Dr. did not tell us that this could happen or else I never would have given it to him. My husband brought him to the ER at 11:45 pm thinking our son was hallucinating while I was at home worried sick

Our 4 year old still had a bad double ear infection after seven days on meds. Our allergist recommended it, but said she would be "wild". She was upside down and hanging from everything for 6 days. She even put crackers up her nose! We trusted our doctors judgement and did the best we could with the crazy behavior.

Pirked my 19 month old daughter up from a virus almost instantly, as for the reaction... lets just say its 12:30 a.m., and she is runing around screaming and taking pictures of everything! Iv never seen this happen. its hard not to laugh, but im kind of upset that the doc. didnt say anything about it. Wont give again.
