Samson is on a course of Motrin and amoxicillin for his ear infection. So far, so good. Sleeping just fine; back to his old chipper self.
We were at Samson's friend Madelyn's 2nd birthday party on Saturday. They live about an hour and a half away, and we figured it would be a good test run for the Thanksgiving trip to NY later this week. He slept most of the way, which was great, and awoke ready to play with the legion of toddlers assembled to honor Madelyn.
He was having a grand old time, although I can tell that the no-walking thing is starting to frustrate him --- especially in a room full of "big kids," all of whom can walk. I took him upstairs to change his diaper and noticed a big pink spot. Now I am not one of those dads with hard and fast rules on pink and boys, but pink in the diaper, regardless of gender, is never a good thing.
So we called his pediatrician, who indicated that indeed, discolored pee can be a side effect of either motrin or amoxicillin. Why this wouldn't be on the label, I can't imagine.
Pills designed to help you sleep come with warnings not to take them before driving or operating heavy machinery, but medicine for infants that could make them pee in Wonka colors somehow doesn't merit a line?
Weird.
