Brief Answer:
Advisable to take antibiotics for complete cure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr. XXXXXXX
I understand your concern about your grandson having a stomach infection.
Stomach infections are common in children and his doctor has correctly prescribed antibiotics for the same.
Cyclopam is an anti colic which relieves the pain but does not cure the infection. Antibiotics are needed to combat the infection effectively.
I suggest you complete the antibiotic course prescribed and continue with the bland and fluid diet.
I hope I have helped you with this answer.
Please get back if any more queries.
Thanks.
