A member asked:
We are giving my 8 month old ammoxicillin for an ear infection, and she has slept longer than normal. is this normal for this medicine?

Nope: But it is normal for her to sleep a little longer after the infection, which probably caused significant discomfort and sleep deprivation.

Sign she's better: This med doesn't make you sleepy or sleep more, but a kid fighting an infection will get catch up sleep when they begin to improve.
