My daughter has a mild fever. Should I give her an antibiotic and which one is suitable?

Asked by Female, 31 · 9 days ago

A mild fever in children is most often due to a viral infection. Antibiotics do not work against viruses and are not needed in most cases. Giving them unnecessarily can lead to side effects and reduced effectiveness later. Keep her comfortable with fluids, a light diet and rest while monitoring her temperature. Consult a doctor if the fever persists, worsens, or new symptoms develop.
