A. Fever can be viral as well, and every fever does not need antibiotic. A child is going to school and easily get viral fever. Hence it is advisable for you to go and get your child checked by a good paediatrician, Who will let you know whether it’s viral or bacterial

A. Antibiotics are given usually when there is an infection if your child is only having fever then regular paracetamol would do your doctor suggest you to give antibiotics then only you should be giving it to the child otherwise it would not be suggested to give antibiotics all the time
