No, it is not safe to rely only on antibiotics for a cough and fever, especially in children. Most coughs and fevers during the cold season are caused by viral infections, for which antibiotics are ineffective. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can lead to side effects, antibiotic resistance, and delayed proper treatment. You should consult a paediatrician for a thorough evaluation. The doctor may recommend tests to determine whether the infection is viral, bacterial, or due to another cause, and may suggest appropriate treatment, which may include supportive care, fever control, hydration, and targeted medication if a bacterial infection is confirmed. Monitoring symptoms closely and seeking prompt medical advice is crucial for your child's safety.

Facial scars from bacterial infections can improve over time. Still, the extent of healing depends on the depth and severity of the scar. You should consult a dermatologist to assess the type of scar and determine suitable treatment options. The doctor may recommend topical creams, silicone gels, or mild chemical peels to reduce the visibility of scars. In some cases, procedures such as laser therapy, microneedling, or minor dermatological surgery may be recommended to achieve better cosmetic results. Avoid using unverified creams or home remedies, as they can irritate the skin or worsen the scar. Keep the skin clean, moisturised, and protected from sunlight to support healing and prevent further discolouration.

Recurrent yeast and bacterial vaginosis infections occur when the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina is disturbed. Common causes include frequent antibiotic use, hormonal changes, or uncontrolled diabetes. Using scented hygiene products such as perfumed soaps, sprays, or douches can irritate the vaginal area and upset its natural pH balance, increasing the risk of infection. You should consult your gynaecologist for proper evaluation and testing to confirm the cause before starting treatment. The doctor may prescribe suitable antifungal or antibacterial medicines and suggest ways to maintain normal vaginal health. Avoid scented or harsh hygiene products, wear breathable cotton underwear, and maintain good hygiene to help prevent recurrence.

A dry cough with throat pain and a pulling sensation in the chest or along nerves can be caused by viral infections, allergies, or airway inflammation, and repeated coughing may strain muscles. You should consult your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, stay hydrated, rest your voice, avoid irritants like smoke, and use soothing measures such as warm saltwater gargles or honey in warm water. Your doctor may recommend tests to identify bacterial infections, allergies, or other underlying causes and suggest appropriate management.
