Episode 216: 3 Questions to Ask Before Giving Your Child Antibiotics

What Parents Should Ask Before Giving Their Child Antibiotics

Antibiotics can be life-saving — but that doesn’t mean they’re always the right first step. With so many childhood illnesses being viral, not bacterial, it’s important to understand the difference and know how to support your child’s immune system without jumping straight into a prescription.

In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re exploring how to make well-informed decisions when your child is prescribed antibiotics.

This episode will give you three thoughtful questions to ask your doctor, so you can feel confident that antibiotics are truly needed (or if a wait-and-see approach is safer).

Here’s what we cover:

• The difference between viral and bacterial infections — and why it matters for antibiotics.
• Three questions that help open up conversation with your doctor.
• How to protect your child’s gut health during and after antibiotic use.
• Natural ways to strengthen your child’s immune system when illness strikes.

🎧 Tune in to learn how you can advocate for your child’s long-term health without overwhelm, guilt, or guesswork.
