SHOULD I START MY DAUGHTER ON ANTIBIOTIC
My 3yo old daughter has had fever off an on for the past 5 days and is very snotty and also has a cough, she is still drinking water and snacking every couple of hours. I am giving paracetamol and iburofen every 4 or 8 hours, depending if the fever has stayed down or not. I would like to ask if it would be a good idea to start giving her antibiotics-Amoxicillin to kill this illness.
