Should i treat my child with antibiotics after black fly bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fly Bite: It's never recommended to start antibiotic medication without examination by a doctor. Though infected bites do need to be treated with antibiotics, it's important to let your doctor examine the bite and make that determination.

When would an antibiotic be necessary in a child, my son is 3yrs old and never had one. He gets the common runny nose and wet cough which I treat with Allecet and Flu pain if he has a mild fever.
How would you treat a child who is a strep carrier and got an acute moderate pain in his throat. No fever and no other symptoms . Still very active.Would you do the swab and get the positive result and give antibiotic or would you treat as a virus?
