Infants and toddlers are prone to infections due to their underdeveloped immune system, their immune system is not yet fully equipped to fight all infectious diseases that may come along. Most parents experience having a sicked child that made them worry so much.
Antibiotics fight bacteria but also has side effects
To fight the infections, antibiotics are always the medicine being recommended by the doctors, in every sickness or illness there's always antibiotics on the medications. Antibiotics usually are taken for 7-10days depending on how severe the infections, according to the doctor's prescription, to make sure the bacteria will surely die. Antibiotics can kill the bacteria but it should not be taken long or beyond the prescribed date given as it has also harmful effects in the body when it is being overused. It is not advisable to take it without doctors' prescriptions.
Medicines are usually business
When antibiotics or any medicines are overused it will harm us. A higher percentage of medicine is purely business, some doctors will just keep on recommending formulated drugs for their profits or incentives and do not really care about the health of their patients (Not all, but mostly).

As parents we care for our child's health, they are so precious that we cannot afford them seeing suffer from any illness. As parents, we are responsible for their wellness so we should not always rely on everything that doctors say or recommend, we should look or do our own research to find some remedy at home if it is not a severe illness.
- Personal Testimony -
When my daughter was 3 months old until 1yr and 8 months she always got sick. Like every month she is sick, it seems like she was a pink baby (can easily acquire infection) that's the time when she stops breastfeeding at me, her immune system was weakened. It's so bothersome because that time his father was jobless, we were always running out of financial aside from her needs shes always got sicked. There was a time she was hospitalized due to pneumonia, just a little cold, then next she will have a dry cough and fever. She is always like that, we are always worried about her. After her hospitalization, recovered a little she got another illness which is the boil, this boils was ruining her face because they appeared mostly in a soft spot. We conducted her pediatrician and he just gives us a prescription of antibiotics, after a week of medication, the boils will reoccur until the antibiotic prescription dosage was adjusted higher that results in antibiotic resistance. My child developed antibiotic resistance which means we always go for the higher dosage, the higher the dosage the higher price, and the higher the dosage the higher the harmful effects on the body. So I did my research and found a herbal antibiotic. Now I don't buy any antibiotics at drugstores, I just made my own antibiotic for my kid, and thanks to God this also made her immune system stronger, after taking it she is not sicky anymore until now.
I will make a part 2 of this article, to let you know what plants I am making as antibiotics to my daughter since this is too long. I don't want to bore you lol.
