If your child has been prescribed antibiotics, it’s important they finish the whole course.
Children often don’t need antibiotics because most childhood infections are caused by viruses, like colds and the flu, which antibiotics cannot treat.
When it comes to antibiotics, take your doctor's advice on whether you need them or not. Antibiotic resistance is a big problem – taking antibiotics when you do not need them can mean they will not work for you in the future.
