do you always take medicines when you're not feeling well?

I am not so fast in going to visit a doctor. When I don't feel well, I first try to sleep or to rest for a while. The only desease I take a pill as soon as possible is for migraine, once I feel that headache is starting. It's to avoid that pain is going worse. The doctors are usually very fast in prescribing medicine. I prefer natural medicine.

As much as possible I don't want to take any medication even though I'm not feeling well. What I usually do is just have a very good sleep and drink lots of water or juices. I don't want my body to be dependent on any medication so I only take one if I don't have a choice.

no when i dont feel well i try to see if my body tells me what is the problem. if i am having a fever i ask my self if its due to sour throat or due to problem in my stomach. when i get the answer and i try to treat it with convensional ways if it does not work out then i go to doctor. its the last choice. cause alopathic medicines gives more side effects then real effects.

I'm aware of that side effect of taking medicines too much too often. And I can't imagine what will happen if that happens to me. Actually I try my best to stay away from medicines , I don't know, I just think it's always better to use natural remedies (although they don't work just as fast) - but sometimes when the pain is just too unbearable, I have no choice but to take the pill, desperate for a fast relief.

Taking medicines without proper prescription is not good. Self medication will cause some health problems too. But with simple illness,like having headache that medicine can be buy over the counter without any prescription. I don't take medicines for simple illness. If i can tolerate headache pain,i will simply massage my head and try to get some sleep.

no generally i avoid and see for one or two days and if still it persists then only i take medicine

I don't always take the medicine when I don't feel well. I don't want to depend on the medicine only. As I think it will make my health worse. If my case doesn't get well for several days and then I will consider to take the medicine or go to see the doctor. I love China

it depends to what i feel like if its just a common cold and cough then i will just going to take rest and drink plenty of fluid including citrus juices to it, according to the doctor those illness is just normal as it helps clean out the dirt inside our body though if it takes more than a week then thats the time that we need to take medicine as its already illness. if its body pain then same things, just rest but if its fever then of course medicine is a must. i dont want to let my body take any medicine every time im not feeling well as my body become immune with those medicine as even if i feel a bit i will feel bad already coz my body needs medicine.

I dont usually take medicines immediately when I am not feeling well. I try to do it the natural way. Drink plenty of water for at least 8 glasses a day. Natural juice is good too. It helps to relieve stress. Eat lots of vegetables and limit fatty and salty food. Exercise or if possible go to the gym at least thrice or twice a week. Rest and take good hours of sleep. And last but not the least, nurture your mind with good thoughts. Fill your mind with peace and harmony, and the rest will follow.

not really, and my mom nags me about not taking medicines as soon as i feel unwell. like the other day, i had an asthma attack and she asked what meds i took. then she reprimanded me for not taking meds on time and that i only do so when i am already very very sick. when it comes to antibiotics, that is where i become more cautious because i know that wrong use of it (too short taking it or not taking it on time or as prescribed), then they will no longer be effective the next time i take them. i only take these if the doctors tell me to do so.

If i am not feelin too well i go to doc without consultin de doc i won't take medicine on my own

no im not cause LOT OF MEDICINES had side effect?.

I always choose chinese presription to cure illness such as flu,cough,cold,fever, mild diarhoae compared to seeing doctor. I dont like the feeling of swallowing chemical baded medicine and imagine it hiding in the body for many years. I just hate it. and i just love love herbal tea. I feel better when I drink it. I used it the last time I caught a flu and coughed non stop and it did the trick - a far better alternatibe than running to the doctor, who are more often than will reach for the prescription pad to dole out antibiotics
