rocephin is an antibiotic. calm down & ask your dh to calmly ask the dr why s/he would prefer the shot to oral meds.

I spoke to the doc on the phone and he said that the shot will be stronger and maybe help the double ear infection. I just panicked since I never heard of this before. so you've heard of it?

Can't help you about the specific drugs, but I've had IV antibiotics for a severe infection, and while I hate needles very much, the greater pain of the needle (compared to swallowing pills) was more than worth it for the accelerated relief of pain from the infection. If that's what's bothering you, the benefits could well be worth it if your baby seems to be in a lot of pain. Good luck!

That's funny. Wonder why he picked another drug of the same class, if the current one didn't work. Usually they try something completely different.
