Hi Vedh... Giving antibiotics is very harmful...tonsuch a young child... It just kills bacteria but dies not make him stronger... Better consult for homoeopathic treatment to a good homoeopath of your choice.

It depends on what kid is suffering from. Antibiotics acts against bacteria. So if child is suffering from some illness caused by bacteria he should be treated with appropriate antibiotics. In children frequent episodes of common cold (viral) is quite common. If they are growing normally they just need comforting measures during the episode not antibiotics.
