Shrek: penicillin is the suitable antibiotic for strep. I doubt a doctor would recommend a substitute just because of how the colouring affects a child.

MII: I am in Israel. Moxypen is pink. Perhaps you mean Augmentin.

Thanks to all for your input.

It’s good to be able to discuss things with others.
