More big pharma propaganda in action....

Who do they think they are kidding?

My older son had a tendency to develop secondary infections as a toddler and thus was prescribed antibiotics several times for bronchitis. Yet his asthma is much less severe than his younger brother, who did not receive antibiotics. Anecdotal evidence, I'm sure.

This article did a good job of explaining the difficulties of determining for sure whether antibiotics affect asthma risk.

Bad respiratory infections can trigger asthma, that's clear. So was in the penicillin or the bronchitis? Tough to say.
