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.
Do viral infections always lead to secondary bacterial infections, and when should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
