RTFM
We went to Target this morning for a 2nd round of [more powerful] antibiotics, since Keaton's congestion and ear infections have returned.
"Here you go, ma'am, do you want to taste it?" the pharmacist asked. Huh? I did, made a face, she laughed. Strange.
"Also you should know you don't have to refrigerate this like you did the last medicine."
"I was supposed to refrigerate the other meds?" This was news.
"Yes, the medicine dies in 1-3 days if not refrigerated."
So for 10 days I forced my child to take crappy tasting, no good doing, dead medicine. Meanwhile, the ear infection remained unscathed. I feel like an ass. I HATE that he's congested again. I'm frustrated with life. I wake up every night by about 1am and I can't get back to sleep until 5. I'm beat. Why didn't someone tell me that the medicine needed to be refrigerated?
