Antibiotics should be used judiciously in pediatrics due to concerns about antibiotic resistance. The appropriate use of antibiotics involves prescribing them only when necessary, based on a confirmed bacterial infection. For viral infections, antibiotics are not effective and their use can lead to unnecessary side effects and contribute to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic stewardship emphasizes the judicious use of antibiotics, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate antibiotics at the right dose for the correct duration. This approach reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance and minimizes adverse effects.
