🦠 VIRAL vs BACTERIAL INFECTION
💊 Does Your Child Really Need Antibiotics?
Your child has a fever, cough or sore throat. Does that mean antibiotics are needed? 🤔
🔵 VIRAL INFECTIONS
✅ Most childhood infections are caused by viruses.
✅ Common examples: Cold, influenza, HFMD and RSV.
❌ Antibiotics DO NOT work against viruses.
🔴 BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
✅ Examples: Strep throat, urinary tract infections and certain ear infections.
💊 Antibiotics may be necessary, depending on the diagnosis.
⚠️ DID YOU KNOW?
The height of a fever or the colour of nasal mucus alone cannot determine whether an infection is viral or bacterial!
💡 Antibiotics are not always the answer!
Unnecessary antibiotic use can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
💙 RIGHT DIAGNOSIS, RIGHT TREATMENT!
