Antibiotics like penicillin will not cure the flu. There are antiviral medicines for children 1 year and older that can make a child feel better and get better sooner. These medicines need to be prescribed by a doctor. They should be started during the first 2 days that the child is sick for them to work best. Doctors can discuss with parents if these medicines are right for their child.
