A. no meet dr you cannot give antibiotics without medical consultation. also if it's viral infection or an allergy then there is no role of antibiotics. all infection and illness doe not require antibiotics. also dosage is given as per infection and type of disease. meet your dr for proper advice.

Q. my child is 1 year and 3 months old and was having a fever, so i took him to a pediatrician, The doctor said it was a viral infection and gave me paracetamol syrup. After 2 days I took him again to our regular pediatrician, so dr gave antibiotic Amoxicillin 250mg 2 times a day for five days. I didn't start the dose as soon as it may be viral infection. But next evening I gave 1 dose and next morning one dose, after that baby started diarrhea due to antibiotics. So again i took the baby to the pediatrician, dr gave baby lactic acid bacillus tablet. So if dont give antibiotics, is there risk of resistance development.
