When antibiotics are actually used correctly, antibiotics can do an amazing jobof cleaning up the most lethal bacterial infections, and if you're sick enough tobe hospitalized for an infectious illness, antibiotic might even save your life.Antibiotics are overused and over- prescribed-despite repeated pleas nowadaysfrom infectious disease experts warning otherwise. Their crystal clear usage guidelines for antibiotics are often ignored by busy doctors eager to appease the many patients who show up demanding a quickfix for their illness.One of the most serious problems with antibiotic overuse is that too many strains of bacteria are becoming resistant to the drugs. Antibiotic resistance isa widespread problem, and one that the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC) calls "one of the world's most pressing public healthproblems." Infectious bacteria constantly multiply. All it takes are a few strongbacteria to actually defeat the antibiotic. And the constant fight againstantibiotics teaches the bacteria to grow even stronger, making them muchharder to kill. This not only creates the need for more antibiotics, but it canalso be life-threatening if the right antibiotic isn't found in time. The hugeproblem with all of this is that most common upper respiratory tract infectionsand sore throats are caused by viruses --not by bacteria. Antibiotics areuseless in these cases and they still promote resistant bacteria, jeopardizing your health without any clear benefit. The germ causing the infection can become resistant ("immune") to theantibiotic, and then it will basically make it useless in the fight against thatgerm. The more antibiotics are used, the more likely it is for antibioticresistant/immune organisms/germs/bacteria to appear. When antibiotics areoverused they kill even the essential bacteria too which makes our body proneto diseases. Body develops immunity to them and then when you really needthem, they won't work. Plus, whenever you take antibiotics they run the risk of side-effects, such as stomach upset and diarrhea or even a possible allergicreaction.
