Healthy tip

Listen to Your Doctor

I'm not suggesting that you never take antibiotics again — sometimes there are really good reasons to use them. (That strep throat or sinus or urinary tract infection probably won't go away without them.) But very often, people take antibiotics for illnesses that aren't even caused by bacteria (colds and flu are caused by viruses, people!) — and that's a huge problem. If you're sick, get diagnosed by a doctor, and don't take antibiotics without a prescription or without being sure they're necessary.
