My son is finishing a round of antibiotics his pediatrician prescribed him. He hasn’t finished the antibiotic but needs to start his monthly round of rifaximin. Should we start the rifaximin now or wait until he’s finished with the other antibiotics?

If a child is on a course of antibiotics, I generally suggest parents delay starting the next monthly round of rifaximin until the other antibiotic is finished, and the infection is successfully treated.
