Hello Anil,
It is good that you concern about use of antibiotics.
If antibiotics are taken for the appropriate days and dose and if it is indicated, it wont be harmful.
But if it is taken haphazardly then there are chances of development of resistance to that antibiotic.
You have not mentioned for how many days you gave your daughter those antibiotics, otherwise it will be helpful to comment on that also.
hope this helps you.
Thank you.
