Antibiotics=Asthma
Use of anitbiotic medicine in the first year of a childs life may increase a their risk of asthma by age seven. The impact is greater among lower risk children (those whose mothers where asthma free and who lived in rural areas). You need good bacteria in your digestive tract for normal development of immune system so that you don’t end up with asthma. Look for live, active cultures in natural yogurts and probiotics supplements to offer children especially if they must take antibiotics.
