Is yellow-green mucus from the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?

Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics should not be given. If your child has symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a viral infection.
