Antibiotics ko log magic bullet samajhte hain – teen din me better feel hua, toh course band. Yahi habit globally antibiotic resistance ka major reason ban rahi hai.
Antibiotic bacteria ko kill/slow down karne ke liye design kiya gaya hai. Course ke initial days me symptoms improve ho sakte hain, kyunki bacteria population kam ho jati hai. Lekin kuch tougher bacteria still bache hote hain. Agar tum course prematurely stop kar doge, ye strong survivors wapas multiply kar sakte hain – aur next time same medicine unpe kam kaam karegi.
Har fever, cold ya viral infection pe antibiotic lena bhi galat hai. Viruses pe antibiotics work hi nahi karte. Unka unnecessary use gut flora disturb karta hai, side effects laata hai, aur resistance badhata hai.
Doctor jab duration likhta hai (5, 7, 10 days etc.), wo infection type, site, severity, aur guideline ke base pe hota hai. Agar side effect ho raha hai, to self-stop ke bajay doctor ko batao; wo course modify ya change kar sakta hai.
Ek duniya jahan major infections pe koi antibiotic kaam na kare, woh sabke liye nightmare hai. Responsible use har individual ka contribution hai is threat ko delay karne me.
