A member asked:

What antibiotic do people carry for 8-12 year old children for rural travel in developing countries where there rarely is a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Travel: For adults Ciprofloxacin is often recommended but it's not suitable for children or pregnant women. It's best to have the children's pediatrician make a recommendation. Azithromycin or amoxicillin may be recommended for children.
