Using antibiotics correctly in children will respond to the treatment of the disease. However, the current overuse of antibiotics in children makes bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics. Children may respond well to antibiotics the first time they use the drug, but the next time they use it, they will become resistant to the drug because the bacteria have mutated.

There is always an interaction between drugs and food. Most antibiotics given to children do not affect health. However, there are still some medications that parents need to be aware of when giving their children.
