[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, this drives me bonkers too. I think the US has a reputation for handing out antibiotics like candy. In my adult life I’ve gotten antibiotics twice: mastitis after my daughter was born and an ear infection that ruptured my ear drum. Have NEVER been offered antibiotics for any other illnesses![/quote] I’ve had antibiotics for several things (two abscesses teeth, ear infection, etc.) and turned them down for others. As long as it’s a bacterial infection, the patient takes the medicine as directed and there’s a significant difference in prognosis with and without antibiotics, I’m all for prescribing them. If all three aren’t true, it’s just allowing the bacteria to gain immunity that much sooner.[/quote]
