How many rounds of antibiotics has your child had this year?
Most parents can answer instantly.
Most have never been asked.
Sometimes antibiotics are necessary. That's not the question.
The question is what happens when the cycle keeps repeating.
Repeated antibiotic exposure can disrupt the gut microbiome, which plays an important role in immune regulation. When a child moves from one illness to the next without ever fully recovering, it's time to zoom out and look at the pattern.
