Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Vildox 50mg Dry Syrup Orange?

My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not needed for viral infections like a sore throat or ear infection. If your child has these symptoms, consult your child's doctor.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
