Antibiotics

[isymcd]

How long do you think it takes for antobiotics to start working in children?

[redcrx]

they start working immediately but of course how long it is before you see the results will perhaps depend on what they are treating.

My son had them at 18 months for tonsilitus and we noticed an improvement within 3 days.

as long as you take the complete course then they will work isy

They'll work even before you finish the whole course, but you must complete it anyway to stop antibiotic resistance.

Thanks guys - i think baby and toddler who are both on antibiotics for tonsilitis and ear infections are starting to get a bit better by tonight but they have both been miserable - poor things

a few hours to notice them improving slightly, a sleep always moves things on quicker

I would benefit from them sleeping too! Not good with 3 disturbed nights!

approx 24 hours but DO finish the course, they build up over a period of days.
