Dr. Scarlet Constant, Pediatrician with Baptist Health South Florida, considers overuse of antibiotics is becoming a problem, because it causes bacterial resistance.
The specialist advises not using antibiotics if the child does not need it. “Antibiotics kill the bacteria in your body, good or bad. It kills the bacteria causing the infection, but it also kills the good bacteria in our gut. As a result, people develop diarrhea or infections,” she says.
