Pediatrician Mihai Craiu warns against the overuse of antibiotics in children, emphasizing that shorter treatment durations can be effective for certain bacterial infections. He cites research showing that shorter antibiotic courses yield similar healing rates without increasing emergency visits. Craiu highlights a case of a child who received unnecessary antibiotics for green nasal discharge, stressing that mucus color alone does not indicate a bacterial infection. He advises parents to consult doctors before administering antibiotics and to follow medical guidelines regarding treatment duration, especially during the winter season when respiratory infections are common.
