No matter what other good things happen to me today, nothing can beat the fact that I took my last dose of antibiotics yesterday. At the risk of sounding like a big whiner, they were HORRIBLE. They created an almost intolerable bitter taste in my mouth that started when I took them at lunchtime and intensified from there. If I weren't already inured to strong, bitter coffee, I don't know if I could have stood it.
But now I'm free! Free of the giant, yellow tablets of awfulness. Free of the earache and cough that they cured. Not completely free of the bitter taste, but I'm sure it will subside shortly.
Yes, it's a good day.
Hopefully your earache doesn't come back 1 week later like my son's did. He has to take stronger medicine that he doesn't like along with ear drops now! FUN for him, fun for us when he spits it back at us!

Antibiotics give me that same taste, too! I call it the "pennies in my mouth" medicine. YUCK
