Antibiotics in the present day
Last week my daughter was sick with flu and fever, when you have a virus you don't need antibiotics, but she had been sick for four days with fever. I took her to the doctor and found an infection in her throat, so she had to be prescribed antibiotics. On the second day of treatment the fever stopped completely, she started eating and was calmer, I felt a relief and thought, antibiotics are important in our lives.
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are medicines produced by a living being (bacteria or fungi) or synthetic derivatives, the main purpose of which is to destroy or stop the growth of microorganisms that cause bacterial infections.
It is a great advantage that we have today, the advances in medicine and pharmacology do not stop, we are fortunate to live in this era. In the past, diseases were treated with plant extracts and some fungi. It was common for people to die of tuberculosis, pneumonia, cholera and other diseases that we see today are easily treated.
The use of antibiotics takes little time, only at the beginning of the 20th century, and it all began with the discovery of Penicillin by mistake; this event gave a turn to the treatment of infectious diseases. In surgery they are the best complement to prevent or control any infection after an operation.
Recommendations when using antibiotics
Their use is delicate, if we take them when we have viral and non-bacterial diseases, we can create what is called "Bacterial resistance", these microorganisms become stronger, making recovery difficult.
It is important to respect the treatment time, it is common to stop taking them when we feel better and it is a mistake, what we do not know is that the bacteria can be there and restart the disease, so it is necessary to finish it, as prescribed by our doctor.
Due to their indiscriminate use, many antibiotics have lost their effectiveness, so many scientists are now working on the study of new strains that evolved due to bacterial resistance.
If you have any disease do not self-medicate, see a specialist, there is an antibiotic for each disease and not all can be effective.

Thank you for sharing this details on antibiotic.
We can also prevent most of the disease if we practice fasting.
Our organism is complex and antibiotic may have various effects.
In case of curation, we must consult a specialist at hospital.
Peace
I did not know about fasting, thanks for that information
Fever is good sometimes as long as its not higher then 102, its your bodies natural way of trying to kill off the infection. But after four days of fever thats way too long.. im happy she is better🌺 sending u aloha 100%
Fever is a defense of the organism, its origin can be viral or infectious, so it is good to wait, only a blood test can determine if there is an infection. regards
Well stated post. Doctors over prescribed them which is the main reason for the problem.
Had a comment but you covered it in your post :)

When given antibiotics, most important is to complete all prescribed, by not doing so leads to more complications.
Nice read @evero visiting from #steemitbloggers found on #resteemza
The best thing is to comply with all the treatment, so we recover properly. regards
antibiotics is so overused in asian society and also given quite often by asian drs over here!
I tried not to use it so much but then like you said I didn't follow treatment time properly and made the bacteria much stronger and worse cos I didn't kill it all!
These days I will use it if it is necessary and make sure the bacteria is killed.
I also was like your daughter, I had a sore throat for days and unwell and it wouldn't go away, I looked in the mirror and saw my throat had patches and I knew.. I had to see a dr and they would give me antibiotics. It worked!
We have to put antibiotics to good use, our body will appreciate it. Not all the time we will need it, only when necessary. regards
I hope your daughter feels better!!
The use of antibiotics can be life-saving, for sure, but they DO tend to be grossly over-prescribed.
Make sure you give her lots of probiotics to help rebuild her gut flora! Antibiotics are not discriminative, they kill off the bad AND the good bacteria!
Thanks, my daughter's doing better. I'll try the probiotics. Greetings
