ANTIBIOTICS FOR TREATING DISEASE

The use of antibiotics in the treatment of specific disease can cause harm than good especially if it is not used properly. Dispensing correctly can save lives.

Not all infection can be cured by antibiotics especially those that are viral in origin like cold, flu and sore throat. Although antibiotic kills bacteria but some of them became resistant when the medicine was used often even if  it is no longer necessary. Do not expect antibiotics to cure everything as there are limitation.

If the doctor prescribed an antibiotic in number of days, it should be taken without fail. The purpose is to give no chance for the bacteria to re-group and multiply again. If this happened, the bacteria becomes resistant to any medication. In selecting what kind of antibiotic to use, the doctor considered the seriousness of the infection.

How to control or minimize the infection? Observe good hygiene by washing hands before and after taking meals. Cleanliness is the assurance that you cannot easily affected with any infection.  In taking antibiotics follow the direction properly.

In treating a patient, a doctor make the best guess to what kind of bacteria is responsible for the infection. The doctor can now prescribed a kind of antibiotic that is more potent to that specific disease. The effectiveness of the treatment will depend on how well the drug is absorb in the bloodstream, how much the drug reaches the site of infection in the body and how quickly the body eliminate the drugs.

Taking antibiotics only when necessary. Discontinuing treatment too soon may relapse the infection and the succeeding treatment will now very difficult to attain. Resistant bacteria is more a challenge to kill.

Taking improper use of antibiotic may cause allergic reaction (itchy rash). Serious allergic reaction is dangerous and may include the swelling of the throat or the inability to breath. There may be some side effect that include nausea, diarrhea and stomach pain, etc. Any signs of allergy should be communicated to your doctor for immediate attention. The doctor know what to do.

The cure of infection or infectious disease depends primarily on the proper choice of the most effective drug. The doctor will prescribe a medicine he knew most effective to your disease. Taking antibiotics you do not need will not feel you better. Cure your illness and keep others from catching your infection. That is the sensible thing you can do to avoid worsening your condition.
