We are seeing a surge in demand in Amoxicillin for children. So much so that now Amoxicillin for children is also in shortage. The question is why is it on shortage considering that the Flu, RSV and Covid are all viral infections and Amoxicillin is typically used to manage bacterial infection and not viral?  I discuss this on the surface contradiction as well as how to manage the shortage of amoxicillin if you have any little ones who do get sick and need treatment with it.
