Antibiotic use

Picture
 Use antibiotics with caution.  If you have a cold treat the symptoms first.
Generally if you get a secondary infection your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. 
Remember to take all the prescribed medication. Even if you start feeling better, your physician should have you tested at a lab to determine which bug is making you sick. 
Different antibiotics are used for different types of infections.
The use of full spectrum antibiotics has contributed to resistant types of infections.
Overuse of antibiotics has caused resistance to many to types of bacteria.
