My little girl was totally overdosed on antibiotics when she was a year old. She developed severe colitis from it and now a year later still has not been able to tolerate dairy because of it. Yesterday my husband took her to the dr because she has had a persistant caugh and nasal congestion (green & runny). Anyway, the dr prescribed antibiotics but she wasn't her regular doctor and my husband didn't mention anything about the colitis, I'm deathly afraid to give it to her. Does anyone know if it's ok or will she end up with this condition again?

Thank you in advance,
Danielle
