A member asked:

Bad cold. what antibiotics do you recommend for a 7 year old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Antibiotics will not alter the course of a cold and in some instances can result in a variety of side effects. Antibiotics should only be used for targeted treatment of a process where they are known to provide a benefit. That requires a proper history & exam by a trained provider.
