Tetracyclines should not be used in children younger than 8 years because of their effects on teeth and bones. In teeth, the drugs interfere with enamel development. The medication can treat the infection. Tetracycline does not increase the risk of heart failure. The administration of tetracycline will not increase the risk of future infections.
