Can I give antibiotics to my child with a sore throat and ear infection?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics should not be administered. If your child has symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a viral infection.
