When we take antibiotics – What applies in the cold

Colds are caused by viruses and no antibiotic in the world can’t help you. This is the simple truth…
The antibiotics can only fight off an infection that has come from a living (micro)organism: bacteria.
Why take antibiotics for a cold can be a problem
It may not seem that caused some damage, if you are taking a drug, even if this does not cure your cold, but the truth is that you are wrong in your organization. When you are taking antibiotics while you do not need, over time, the antibiotic wears off and becomes less effective. Some day you’ll need it seriously, because you will have a disease that is caused by bacteria, but the antibiotic will not be effective for you.
The reason has to do with the same bacteria, which, like any living organism, change, and transform in order to survive. When they come into contact again and again with the antibiotics, ultimately it will change in order to survive.
These new strains of bacteria will be ‘resistant’ to some types of antibiotics. If you have an infection with one of these bacteria, your doctor may need to test different combinations of drugs until you find the one that works on you. And can become ill much more seriously, while I wait to find the right combination of antibiotics that will cure it.
When can help the antibiotics
When used in the right way, antibiotics can save lives. For example, can treat bronchitis, pneumonia, strep, ear infection, and diseases of the eye, where they are caused by bacteria.
Sometimes, you are likely to have been infected with bacteria after you have a cold. Some signs of this are pain around the face and eyes that may worsen when you bend over. You may also have sputum with thick, yellowish, or greenish mucus.
These symptoms may also occur, and in a cold. But if they last for more than a week, or very strongly, then it is likely to have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics.
CAUTION: Only your doctor can prescribe you antibiotics. Talk to him and follow his advice in any case and don’t try to get yourself on antibiotics.
Take the antibiotics wisely and responsibly
See three key things to remember every time you think of taking antibiotics:
Listen to your doctor. This will inform you responsible for if you are sick because of a virus, or because of bacteria and will prescribe antibiotics that you need.
Follow the instructions carefully. Complete the entire cycle to obtain the antibiotic recommended by your doctor according to your daily schedule. Even if you feel that the disease has passed, do not leave the pills in the box “for later if need be”. Must get them all!
Do not share your medicine with anyone. Never give antibiotics to anyone else and do not take antibiotics from someone else. It’s not the same for everyone! When you need antibiotics, it is important to take the right drug for your condition.
