A common question many families have is should their child take antibiotics when they're ill. 💊
The answer depends on if your child has a bacterial infection or not. Antibiotics only help treat bacterial infections and do not help if your child has a viral infection such as the Common Cold, the Flu, or COVID. 🤒
It's also important to know that antibiotics can cause side effects. Before giving your child antibiotics, make sure to talk to the pediatrician first and get a prescription. Follow their instructions, including giving the medicine for the duration recommended to get rid of the bacterial infection. Call our office if your child is ill and needs to be seen by the doctor. ☎️
👇 Check out this guide for more answers on common FAQ's about antibiotics!

Children can mistake medicine for candy. That is why it's crucial for parents and caregivers to keep medicine #UpAndAway and out of reach and sight of young children to prevent accidental swallowing. 💊
We recommend storing all meds and pills in a place that is too high for children to reach or see. Make sure the bottle caps are sealed properly as well.
It’s also important to teach your children what medicine is and that they should never consume them unless given by a parent or caregiver.
If your child has accidentally swallowed medicine, call Poison Control at 800-222-1222. ☎️
