They found the increased risk of eczema ranged from 15 to 41 per cent depending on the type of study analysed, rising to 14 to 56 per cent for hay fever.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1

rather than a single course, said Dr Fariba Ahmadizar, of Utrecht University in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, last night doctors said children should still take antibiotics when needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Prescriptions data for children is not routinely recorded by the NHS, but experts estimate that the average child in the UK has taken ten courses of antibiotics by the age of 16 \u2013 more than one every two years.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-2115c879ad683898\"

class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Doctors are desperate to reduce the use of antibiotics among children, particularly in cases where they are never needed in the first place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As well as increasing the risk of allergies, evidence suggests overuse of the drugs also increases the risk of type 1 diabetes and of obesity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But experts are most concerned that overprescription of the drugs is creating a breed of untreatable superbugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Antibiotic resistance occurs when germs adapt and find ways to survive the effects of medicines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The more that the bugs are exposed to the drugs, the quicker they evolve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A major study led by Bristol University last year found that 48 per cent of youngsters in Britain with a common bladder complaint were carrying germs resistant to Ampicillin, a go-to drug used for a variety of illnesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Professor Dame Sally Davies, England\u2019s chief medical officer, last year said parents should stop asking GPs for antibiotics for their children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Using antibiotics when we don\u2019t need them, or not always taking the full course properly, gives bacteria in our bodies that opportunity to become resistant to antibiotics.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul
