Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
