[|AI|]  Early institution of antibiotics for small illnesses can really affect the babies immunity adversely, as the children immune system never gets the chance to fight the infection or the insult to the body that keeps coming in from all directions! It seems that this might be the cause why he keeps needing care from a doctor and repeated prescriptions of antibiotics. The repeated infections have, in turn, affected his all-round growth. What I would like you to do is to a) understand that fever is what helps the children body to fight his infection, as long as it is not so high that it triggers off a fit (as it did in your sons case). b) Avoid starting antibiotics at the very start of a cold or fever or cough; give him plenty of warm soup and other bland and non-cold liquids; c) sponge him from neck to knees with lukewarm water and give him paracetamol to reduce his fever and d) see a doctor - a pediatrician - only if the fever lingers on for more than 2 days, or if it is very high (more than 39 degree C). In this way, you can gradually bring your son out of this endless circle of disease - antibiotic - relief - disease.
