Viral vs baceterial

2017-01-05 05:24:52
How to differentiate between bacterial and viral infection without doing any blood test. My ped has advised for antibiotics to my baby after fever did not come for 3 days. I am being confused about using antibiotics and its side effects on my baby. Also can I stop antibiotics after giving 2 dose if I feel that it is viral infection only as baby has developed rashes on feet now.
