When should you start considering taking antibiotics?

Some of us have the tendency to be a little trigger happy when it comes to medication. Look, I get it, being sick is one of the most miserable things in the world! But, when it comes to antibiotics, we need to be very careful and resort to them only when we absolutely need to.

The reason being because when we take antibiotics when they’re not needed, we run the chance of having infections that resist antibiotic treatment. Always listen to your doctor. There’s a reason why antibiotics are a prescribed medication. If your doctor say they’re not needed, then they’re not needed.
