Use of antibiotics

I have come across lot of people who start taking antibiotics on the slightest pretext and without a doctor's prescription. The worse part is that they stop in between without completing the full course. Antibiotics should be used only when it is absolutely necessary and under a physician's prescription and one should take the complete course.

Hate is a negative emotion. Many people may not like use of this word. I feel some people may be rating you negatively and that is why your rating might have gone down. I suggest that you do not hate/ use this word and study/ watch your rating. I have a strong feeling that your rating would go up once again. I very strogly suggest that you try this and see. I am very hopeful of positive results. Good luck to you. Also, do let me know if the rating improves.

The point I want to emphasize is that the patients, in their own interest, should avoid consumption of abtibiotics unless doctors say that the antibiotics can not be avoided.

Here in Denmark the doctors doen't that often give out antibiotics, thank god for that, we don't want to build up a resistance. When I travlled in Malaysia it was a completely different story. Whenever you felt the lest bit sick the doctors gave you very strong painkillers and antibiotics. Crazy... I were gone 4 months and got the meds twice. :-s

It is good to know that Denmark doctors are so responsive. I have known many doctors who prescribe abtibiotics to please the patients!
