Just wondering when parents decide to give their toddler antibiotics? The CF doctor always prescribes antiobiotics to my grandson who is 18 mo after 3 days of a cold. I am worried that he will eventually become immune to some antiobiotics. If he just has a runny nose with no cough should we just wait it out? If you do, how long do you wait? It's been a week now. He was coughing a little bit some time ago but that has subsided. His runny nose is getting a little better too. The CF doctor prescribed an antibiotic over the phone. He has had one dose of it. My daughter doesn't know what to do. Should she wait it out and just give him the remaining 9 doses. He fights taking it so it is not pleasant to fight with him!
