Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most cases do not involve bacterial infections following a viral one, it is always best to seek advice from your child's doctor before administering antibiotics as this may complicate the situation.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?

In case of severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), contact your child's doctor immediately. While rare, these side effects require professional medical assistance.
