Hv a 1 yr old just got off antibiotics for her cold but still after taking the medicine she gets a running nose, when taking meds it cleared up(?)

Abx for cold ?????: There is no reason to give antibiotics for a cold. If given it does nothing for the patient except give the caretaker something to do. Colds run their course in a week or two.If other issues (irritants, allergies etc.) are present they must be identified to treat.
