The most common disease throughout the year is the cold, as long as the weather changes, it is easy to catch a cold if you accidentally get cold, and after the cold, you will cough more often, or you will be accompanied by cough during the cold.
Some people sometimes have a cold cough caused by bacteria, after using an antibiotic to get better, the next cold and cough will buy their own antibiotics to take, but also go around with friends and relatives to promote the benefits of antibiotics, thinking that this situation will soon be better with an antibiotic.
Because of this idea, many people now like to add antibiotics as soon as they have a cold and cough, thinking that this is the most effective method.
Is it really good to have antibiotics for colds and coughs?
For some people, colds and coughs are really good with antibiotics, because these people's colds and coughs are caused by bacterial infections, and antibiotics can destroy or inhibit the multiplication of these bacteria, so that they can effectively treat diseases.
But to understand that colds and coughs are mostly caused by viruses, antibiotics have no effect on viruses, and because viral infections often heal themselves, they are not associated with eating antibiotics at all, so eating antibiotics will not get better quickly.
In addition, it must be clear that even if you occasionally have a cold and cough caused by a bacterial infection, not every cold and cough is caused by bacteria, and you cannot use antibiotics every time you take antibiotics.
Antibiotics are used as soon as you catch a cold and cough, and the harm is beyond your imagination
1. Drug resistance
Antibiotics are really good for antibacterial aspects, and because of antibiotics, many diseases that were previously not treated have now become very simple.
But antibiotics have a very big disadvantage, that is, drug resistance, when you use it for the first time, the effect is very good, but after multiple uses it has no effect.
When you don't need antibiotics, you often use antibiotics, resulting in drug resistance, and when your condition really needs to be used, it has no effect, which makes it impossible to treat diseases that could have been treated well, so this is very dangerous for humans.
2. Decreased resistance
The human body is a bacterium-carrying organism, some bacteria are beneficial, some are harmful, but antibiotics will eliminate the harmful in addition to the beneficial will also eliminate, which will lead to a decline in human resistance.
This part will be more likely to catch a cold and get sick more easily than the average person.
3. Liver and kidney damage
It is a drug three points of poison, especially antibiotics, many times there will be some damage to the liver and kidneys, if you abuse antibiotics usually, it will seriously damage our liver and kidney function.
4. Gastrointestinal discomfort
Regular use of antibiotics can also disrupt the balance of the body's gut, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.
Especially in children, after using antibiotics for a period of time, the appetite will drop significantly, which in addition to the impact of the disease, has a lot to do with antibiotics.
Antibiotics are effective for diseases caused by bacterial infections, colds and coughs can only be used if it is clear that they are caused by bacterial infections, otherwise they will not only have no effect, but will lead to a lot of side effects, and the gains are not worth the loss, so we must pay attention not to abuse antibiotics.
