Bactriim for a 3.8 year old

[Hopeny]

Has anyone used this for a littler kid?

Sorry. DD was 9 and only on it for a short time before developing an allergic reaction.

We used it for a short run (maybe 10 days) for my son when he was a toddler (maybe 2). it was prescribed for an ear infection. He tolerated it fine.

Hi - my Dd was around the same age 3.7 when she took 10 days of Bactrim for a spider bite (we think) that got quickly infected. It did not bother her stomach but on day 9 she developed a strange allergic reaction to it. She got very bright blotches on the sides of her face and neck area . It took a week of Benadryl to calm the response. However I should note that my DD has many allergies!

My daugher took Bactrim as part of an ABX combo for over a year. She was 5-6 at that time I believe.
