if we're talking about the ear itching then yes that is completely normal. in fact whenever tissue is healing it's normal for it to itch. i won't go into all the dry science behind it but suffice it to say the itching is caused by certain cells that perform a 'clean-up' function in the body. itching is a good sign because it signals the healing process is going as it should. if we're talking about your daughter's body itching or a rash developing then no that is not normal and you should discontinue the antibiotics and call your pediatrician's office. however i think you're referring to the ear itching so i'm going to go with that. i'm sorry your daughter is going through this. make sure to give the entire course of antibiotics even if she starts feeling better. do not save any antibiotics "for future use. " do not let her sweet-talk you out of taking them because they taste yucky or whatever. in order for bacteria to die they must be exposed to antibiotics for a very precise length of time -- the length of time prescribed by the doctor. wishing you (and your daughter) well!
