Know The Dangers Of Antibiotics On Your Kid
Nowadays, kids tend to have infections very fast and often. No matter whether it is bacterial or viral, taking your kids to a doctor and avoiding self medication is important. Usually parents think that antibiotics will give relief quickly than other medicines. But in reality, antibiotics are only for bacterial infections. There can be dangers of antibiotics in babies if not given properly.
Some parents even worry when doctors don’t prescribe antibiotics for their children. Parents must have an awareness about the dangers of antibiotics in babies. Effects of antibiotics on kids health depends on your baby’s age, and weight.
Home Remedies For Diarrhoea And Vomiting In Babies
To avoid the bad effects of antibiotics on kids health, parents should follow the instructions as well as the dosage. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics can be dangerous.
Many people give antibiotics that were prescribed for other kids with the same illness or for similar ones. The dangers of antibiotics in babies may be severe than you think. Consult your doctor and talk about the dosage and make a note on the time. And the most important thing is that you must give your kid the entire course of antibiotics.

Here, we are discussing some of the dangerous effects of antibiotics on kids health.
Overdosage
If your child's doctor prescribes antibiotics, be careful not to exceed the dosage recommended by him. Most of the antibiotic packets provide a measurer. It is better to use the measurer than a spoon. Overdosage will lead to serious health problems.
Drug resistance
Every antibiotic has a course of some days. The doctor will prescribe the course and you must follow it properly. If it's a five day course, give it for 5 days even if your child is better. Incomplete course will lead to the formation of resistant bacteria resulting in the need for more strong antibiotics the next time.
Loss of normal flora
Even when antibiotics are designed to act against harmful bacteria, it can affect the normal flora of the gut as well. Normal gut-friendly bacteria of the gut are essential for the healthy functioning of the body. This is one of the most common dangers of antibiotics in kids.
Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea is a common complaint when kids are taking antibiotics. The damage to the normal flora of the intestine is the major reason for this. Taking vitamin supplements along with antibiotics is one of the options to prevent this.
Allergy
Some children develop allergic reactions to antibiotics like penicillin. It is always recommended to inform your doctor if your kids are showing any symptoms of allergy while taking any medicines. Allergy to one antibiotic can extend to any other ones of the same category.
Bowel inflammation
When used more frequently, antibiotics can result in bowel inflammation. This will be one of the reasons for stomach pain of your kids, which you may accidentally relate to the signs of the illness for which you are giving antibiotics.
Definitely speak with the doctor if your child shows any side effects after taking antibiotics. Limit the use of medication and help your kids lead a healthy life.
