You sneeze and you see a Doctor?, beware if you are given antibiotics too often!
The patients, who think that they are well informed, demand antibiotics for the common trivial infections, most of which are viral to begin with, pay the price in long run.
Doctors who follow ethics and refuse to give antibiotics are not usually popular. The fear of losing the patients makes many doctors to oblige patients.
FACTS
Studies have shown that the poor parents do not bother to give their children antibiotics for minor illnesses. This helps the child to fight the infection with the help of its own immune system and, in the bargain; the child develops immunity against major infections. Antibiotics given to minor viral illnesses of childhood make the immune system change its response to infection and is the most important trigger for asthma in later life.
The slum dwellers kids, have very robust health and have very low incidence of asthma and many other common illnesses.
