And when kids come home sniffling and sneezing, parents are quick to self-medicate. In their rush to make it all better, parents have been known to give kids antibiotics. Not knowing that this could actually do more harm than good.
Why?
An antibiotic is a drug that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. It does not help fight viruses and taking antibiotics could actually increaset he risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
Parents, beware!
As parents, it is our responsibility to inform ourselves to make sure that we do not put our kids at risk.
Check out CDC's guide on how antibiotics work. Read about facts about antibiotics and what you can do to protect yourself and your child. In ad
