You must not have young children. You can't get an antibiotic out of a pediatrican unless the doctor DOES think it is necessary. I had to argue with the doctor last year to get a one week suppy- which totally solved the secondary infection. It would have been- at least last year- an unnecessary expenditure to get the allergy prescripion. In that case, had I gave up on the antibiotic and just did the allergy medication, my son would have had an untreated sinus infection- which can be quite serious.
