Abstract
Conclusions: The children with recurrent therapy with antibiotics in early childhood also continue to be prescribed more antibiotics in later childhood when compared to those who received no or few antibiotics in infancy. However, recurrent infections and medications do not seem to have a marked effect on the somatic and dental status of these children at 8 y of age.
