^ Yeah, giving them as prophylaxis is kind of bad practice generally but there are certain situations where it is indicated. If she has started, she should finish unless there are problems due to side effects.

Does not mean they are not given. Doctors give antibiotics for viruses lol. Plus, many have thier "pet" antibiotic they like to use most of the time.

 

 

Very true, but doctors claimed that Ab's in this situation was, "to prevent secondary bacterial infection". However, the evidence just doesn't support this being good practice.
