Hi



Thanks for writing to health care magic.



I did not understand why your kid was put on antibiotics from the details you gave.



Does he have any complaints like cough, burning urination, recurrent urination, sore throat, fever, ear discharge, stools associated with blood etc.



We advise antibiotics for bacterial infections..............



I require further details to answer your question better.



Does he have any yellow coloration of eyes?

Does his palms and soles look pale?

Does he have neck pain?

Does he have any vomitings?



I should have the answers to these questions to answer you better.....



You may contact me with further details on the following URL...........
