Can I give antibiotics to my child when they have a sore throat and ear infection?
No, antibiotics are not necessary for sore throats or ear infections caused by viruses. If your child experiences pain, a barky cough, discharge from the ears, runny nose, and sore throat, it's likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to get guidance.
