Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. However, sometimes antibiotic treatment can lead to an unpleasant side effect of digestive upset. The digestive system of children is immature and sensitive, so it is easily affected by this.

Fever is a common condition in children. Infants 3 months and younger with fever should be seen by a doctor immediately. Infants 3 months and older with a mild fever can be treated at home with appropriate measures if there are no other symptoms. Infants with high or persistent fever should be evaluated by a doctor.
