Azamgarh. If you also take antibiotics in case of a mild illness without consulting a doctor, then it can be very dangerous for you. Consuming antibiotics without medical advice can cause many types of harm to the body. Many people, on the basis of incomplete information, buy antibiotics directly from medical stores and start using them for cold, cough and normal fever. If you also do this, it can become a serious threat to your health.

It is necessary to complete the antibiotic course
By using antibiotics in excess, the body becomes antibiotic resistant. That is, instead of being eliminated by these medicines, the harmful bacteria present in the body start dominating them. With continuous and uncontrolled use, the effect of these medicines gradually reduces. Apart from this, many times people start antibiotics on the advice of the doctor, but leave the medicine midway without completing the complete course. By doing this, the bacteria present in the body become stronger, due to which treatment of infection may become more difficult in future.

The risk of serious diseases increases
Due to excessive use of antibiotics, minor diseases occurring in the body take longer to heal than before. Due to less effect of medicines, the risk in treatment of serious diseases also increases. Due to reduced effectiveness, thousands of people lose their lives every year due to diseases like pneumonia and urine infection. While talking to Local18 on this subject, Azamgarh Medical Superintendent Satish Chandra Kanojia said that consumption of antibiotics without doctor’s consultation can cause many serious problems in the body. These medicines also have many side effects, which can harm the body. In such a situation, doctors advise not to take antibiotics under any circumstances without medical consultation.
