Is it worth giving an antibiotic at bostonka?

I was with a 3 year old yesterday at the doctor's. In the kindergarten there is a bostonka. The son with a fever, he had a rash only in his mouth. The doctor prescribed the antibiotic zinnat. According to her - acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Today the rash came out on the hands and feet. Should I give this antibiotic at all?

The doctor makes a decision about pharmacotherapy based on the collected anamnesis and examination of the patient. If an antibiotic was prescribed, the doctor after conducting the examination found infections of bacterial origin. The mere fact of the occurrence of the Boston virus in the immediate vicinity does not determine that we are dealing with this disease. However, given that the rash on the hands and feet is not a symptom characteristic of pharyngitis and tonsillitis, and just m.in for bostonka, before using the antibiotic, it is worth contacting the doctor again and informing him about the new symptoms. It may be necessary to modify the treatment, because antibacterial drugs are not administered in the course of boston.
