Symptoms, conditions and causes
My doctor suggested antibiotics for my child; should I give them?
Antibiotics given to children can potentially increase the risk of certain things later in life, such as:
• Depression
• Autism
• Anxiety
• ADHD
What you can do:
Be sure the antibiotics are necessary
Make sure the child doesn’t consume foods that contain antibiotics (by purchasing foods that are organic, grass-fed and antibiotic-free)
If the child has to take an antibiotic, make sure they also take a probiotic at the same time, and after they stop taking the antibiotic
Allow the child’s immune system to learn from the environment
Keep key nutrients high (zinc, calcium and vitamin D)
