It is supported by Purnawati Pujiarto, a pediatrician and also the activist of parents care foundation who says “If the baby gets the colds and diarrhea, we need to identify the cause of the disease whether it caused by some infections or other factors.” “If there is an infection, we need to identify the cause of the infection itself whether it caused by the viruses or the bacteria.”
It is unnecessary to give some antibiotic if the disease is caused by viruses because the function of the antibiotic is to kill the viruses but it used to kill the bacteriaso that good bacteria in the body is also killed. This condition will cause resistance, and it will reduce the immunity system of the baby.
It is unnecessary to give antibiotic to cure the cold and diarrhea disease. The cold here means the common cold indicated by heavy runny nose, headache and some cough. While the diarrhea here means an acute diarrhea without any bleeding. Drugs are commonly given by doctors to give a sense of comfortable.
The colds and diarrhea are commonly happen to the baby. It is normal when the baby under 2 years old often to get these kinds of disease. Even it will happen for the teenagers. These kinds of disease will have a positive side to improve the baby`s immunity system. When the baby getting the diarrhea give him much water.

The parents should not be worried about the baby`s health if the baby like to play in the grown or play in the rain because this activity will make the immunity system becomes improving.
