    Symptomatic bacterial strep throat in toddler: antibiotics?

    What's the current thought on this? General recommendations online are to treat with antibiotics to prevent complications. But antibiotics cause complications. Would it be reasonable, e.g., to wait a couple of days after onset to see if condition improves? (N.B. that I understand that Reddit is...

    Is toddler skateboarding too risky?

    @knotty Thanks for your input. Perhaps bicycling requires less coordination, etc., than skateboarding, but I don't have a good reason to believe that.
