A member asked:
My 23 month old daughter was prescribed an antibiotic last evening for strep and after i gave it to her she became super hyperactive?

Unusual: I haven't heard such a side effect with an antibiotic. There are flavor and color additives that may be responsible for the effect. It is not an allergic reaction but if it is troubling enough I would call your doc & look for an alternative treatment that avoids such additives.
