Do any of these Med change my babys attitude?

madison6haylee5mckenzie10m posted:

My daughter Mckenzie is 9 months old. I took her to the doctor yesterday and he said she had pertusis or whooping cough. He prescribed her Veripred 20mg, Azithromycin, and Rynex DM. She took all her med yesterday, and today. all day today she has been very very active, she will not take a nap, she is into everything and going from one end of the house to the other. She is acting WILD jumping and laughing at everything. Could it be one of these meds making her act like this because I dont know if I could chase her like this all day. expecially without her taking her wonderful 3 hour nap everyday.

im not sure about the veripred or the rynex, but i know azithromycin wont it just an antibiotic. If shes on and inhaler type medician it can affect her, Some will make the child hhyper or jittery depending how they take it. It could also be that she is starting to feel better and just has more energy.
