Can my four and half year old daughter take another course of antibiotic medicine?

My four half year old daughter consumed two bottles of a 'strong' antibiotic medicine (Klaracid) a week ago for probable chest infection and got better. Now she again have 101 deg temp. Should / can she take yet another course of antibiotic meicine?

A probable infection is usually not treated by my doctor. She ALWAYS takes the wait and see approach. If it doesn't get better after about 3 days THEN she prescribes something. If the body never learns to fight it's own infections, your child will never develop a good strong immune system. Too many antibiotics (in my opinion) CAUSE allergies and asthma. I saw this with experience because I listened to my first doctor who prescribed antibiotics for every little thing and my daughter just got sicker and sicker. I let my next two fight off their illnesses on their own and they have rarely ever taken antibiotics. They are older and have strong immune systems and rarely get sick now.

I don't know what to tell you about your daughter, but you should try to get her to build her immune system up with diet and extra vitamins and exercise plays a strong role too. Get her checked for allergies and maybe she needs puffers instead of antibiotics if she has respiratory problems such as a flemmy cough...if it's asthma...all that flem sits in her chest and can become "infected" needing treatment...so cure the problem and not the symptom.

I would DEFINITELY find another doctor to assess her too.

The Old Course At Ballybunion Golf Club – As Wild As It Gets

There has Never Been a marriage more inspired than the one which joined the game of golf with the terrain of southwestern Ireland.  Nowhere is this inspiration more in evidence than in a small County Kerry town located at the juncture of the Shannon River and the Atlantic Ocean, where next to golf, seaweed baths are the greatest attraction. Those seaweed baths, however, are a poor second in need.

 

Watching over this town from high above, where it has stood as a sentinel since the 13th century, and played a significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland, are the ruins of a castle. The image of that castle’s wall has gained new fame as a symbol of the town’s top attraction, its Golflinks.

 

The town, of course, is Ballybunion, and for a very long time it is Golf Links were one of golf’s overlooked treasures. They might still be a secret, were it not for a visit by America’s champion golfer Tom Watson, who in the early 1980s declared the course at Ballybunion’s golf club to be one from which many golf architects could learn much about the art of Golf Course design.

 

The Ballybunion Golf Club has now become a favorite practice course for the elite golfers who gather from around the world each July in compete in the British Open. The names of Nicklaus, Faldo, and Woods are just three which have joined Tom Watson’s in the club register, which dates back to 1893.

 

The original Ballybunion Golf Club, however, faced an early demise, and was nearly a total financial failure until in 1901 its board of officers was changed. The Ballybunion links continued to develop as did The Golf Club’s reputation, and by 1927, it was a full 18- hole course. Six years later, it drewl attention as the site of the Irish ladies Golf Championship, and in another five years Ballybunion Golf Club hosted The Irish Men’s Close Amateur Championship.

 

Ballybunion Golf Club, however, did not achieve the recognition it deserve until 1957, when the Irish Professional Championship was played there. In the more than five decades since, Ballybunion has hosted hundreds of other major competitions, and received consistently high marks from players at every level. The Old Course at Ballybunion tests the pages of skills of every golfer with the Atlantic-driven winds, while simultaneously rewarding them with spectacular ocean views.

 

The 7th and 11th holes at Ballybunion, at more than 400 yards each, offer everything that is good about the game of golf. The course between them winds along the sea and among the dunes, allowing the players to soak in the sense of salty air, watch the sea grass bending in the breeze, and to feel the sand yielding beneath their feet.  The 9th hole at Ballybunion Old Course has a green which resulted from bisecting a sand dune, while the 17th hole requires the golfer to send his or her drive directly toward the sea.

 

The amenities at Ballybunion Golf Club do justice to its remarkable courses. The newly completed modern clubhouse has a premier dining room, two bars, and several welcoming relaxation lounges. Its Pro Golf Shop can meet every conceivable golfing need, and for golfers waiting for Tee Time to arrive, Ballybunion Golf Club offers Practice Putting and chipping greens, a driving range, and even a practice sand bunker.

 

A golfing vacation which includes a visit to County Kerry’s Ballybunion Golf Club will reward you with a naturally challenging course in an historic setting that will leave you with memories which last a lifetime.
