Question:
What is the natural substitute for antibiotics so that kids can take it as a daily supplement to fight infecti
Does antibiotics intake in children have any negative effect in kids and after kids take antibiotics to treat infections how do you get the effect of antibiotic out of your system
Answers:
There really is no substitute for antibiotics to fight infection. There are natural supplements that are believed to strengthen the immune system (though scientific evidence for this is lacking), but only antibiotics fight infection in se . . . that's what makes them antibiotics.
The most common adverse side effect associated with antibiotic use in children (and adults) is stomachache. The best way to avoid this is to administer the dose at mealtime or slightly after.
The second most common adverse side effect associated with antibiotic use is diarrhoea. The is because in addition to the bad bacteria causing the infection, the antibiotic kills off the good bacteria in the intestine that helps with digestion. This can be attenuated if you feed the child yogurt a few hours after (or before) the antibiotic is administered. The live bacteria cultures in the yogurt will help repopulate the intestine with the good bacteria, so diarrhoea won't be as much of a concern.
As to your final question, antibiotics are metabolized and passed from the body naturally, so you needn't worry.
