If the body is unable to react adequately and prevent the spread of bacteria, it leads to the development of the infection. Then, an inflammatory process is being developed as a response of the body to the  infection. Antibiotic therapy destroys both good and bad bacteria, so after the use of antibiotics, a hyperinfection or fungal infections develop. In order to prevent complications of antibiotic use, children are encouraged to take probiotics – good bacteria (taken 2 hours after antibiotics).
