Chances are you had one of those bad winter or spring colds are quite high. These are the colds that seem to drag on over time to infect the upper respiratory tract. We feel terrible, low energy and often the last resort, we are fully into the room of other people coughing and spluttering wait to see the doctor. Unfortunately, the usual reaction of the doctor put on a course of antibiotics.
Do not misunderstand. I'm not against the use of appropriateAntibiotics. They have the potential life-saver if used correctly, but are not a panacea. Antibiotics are often used to control infections caused by bacteria, as is tuberculosis, salmonella causes, and some forms of meningitis. However, they do not work against other organisms such as viruses and fungi. It 'important to note when you have some type of infection because viruses usually cause many common diseases, in particular, does the upper respiratory tractintestinal tract, such as colds and sore throats.
A virus is a microscopic organism that lives as a parasite of plants, animals and bacteria and consists of a core of nucleic acid-protein in a sheath. Most people, colds, runny nose, cough, muscle aches have disadvantages, sore throat and fever, also have a virus. Viruses usually cause 7-14 days for symptoms of the disease and can counter drugs like decongestants, herbal formulas will be cold treated and disadvantages cough medicine. Antibioticsnot against viruses work only against bacteria.
Bacteria are single celled organisms, parasites often without distinct nuclei or organized cell structure. There are good and bad bacteria. Many species of bacteria cause disease harmless and live in and around the human body. Bad bacteria cause serious diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, blood poisoning and dysentery.
These diseases can be fatal and can best be treated with antibiotics. Ifthese bacteria become resistant, it is very difficult or impossible to treat. Excessive use of antibiotics, bacteria can become resistant, it is important to keep active only when absolutely necessary.
How antibiotics?
The first antibiotic, penicillin, with a family of antibiotics (such as ampicillin, penicillin and amoxicllin) is still widely used to treat common infections. Our health, a strong immune system,Antibodies and their special white blood cells to kill harmful bacteria usually before they multiply enough to cause symptoms. And even when symptoms occur, the body can often fight the infection. Sometimes, when the immune system is not strong, will be overwhelmed by a bacterial infection and need help to get rid of him. Here are some antibiotics such as penicillin, antibiotics are 'bactericidal' means something, which work by killing bacteria. MakeInterference with the formation of cell walls or cell contents of bacteria. Other antibiotics are bacteriostatic, which work by preventing the bacteria multiply means.
Unfortunately, antibiotics do not have to distinguish between our good bacteria, especially in the intestine and destroy all! This interference with the destruction of the "gut flora" can have very serious consequences. These bacteria perform critical operations, strengthen our immune system to aid digestion,allergy against the elimination of harmful toxins. These friendly bacteria include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus and bulgaricus, additions found in the refrigerated display any health food store. They protect us against pathogens such as Salmonella, yeast, cholera and the bad E. coli. Once gone, these friendly bacteria are replaced by hostile bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Clostridium, Klebsiella and Candida yeast and a member of the powerfulFamily of fungi.
Side effects of antibiotics
The most common side effects of antibiotics include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Fungal infections in the mouth, stomach and intestines and vagina can also occur with antibiotics because they help protect "good" bacteria in the body (to prevent the spread of the body to destroy) and "bad" deals with the person responsible for infection.
Rare but serious side effects, including the formation ofKidney stones, abnormal bleeding, increased sensitivity to the sun, blood disorders, and deafness.
Sometimes, especially in the elderly, antibiotic treatment may be a form of colitis (inflammation) which causes severe diarrhea. Penicillin, erythromycin and cephalosporins can cause this problem, but is most common with clindamycin, an antibiotic usually reserved for severe infections. If you have diarrhea while taking an antibiotic, immediately contact yourDoctor.
Some people are allergic to antibiotics, including penicillin and can develop side effects such as rashes, swelling of the face and tongue and difficulty breathing. Always tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic, sometimes severe reactions, even death. This is called an anaphylactic reaction. Do you need an antibiotic with caution if you have reduced liver or kidney disease. Obviously, if you are pregnantor breast-feeding with your doctor before taking prescription medications, including antibiotics.
How to use an antibiotic when you take
Antibiotics are usually taken orally but is administered by injection to the body concerned. The drugs begin to tackle most infections within hours. It 'important to keep the entire course of therapy to prevent recurrence of infections. Sometimes the bacteria "tolerant to the antibiotic you took,Sense of drugs no longer work. Resistance occur earlier if the bacterial infection is responsible for these symptoms is not completely healed, although the symptoms have cleared. Some of the bacteria remaining after the suspension, but not killed by antibiotics, but an infection, antibiotics may develop some survive. This explains why the end of the course of antibiotics, even if you feel better is important.
Certain antibiotics should nottaken with certain foods and beverages. Some antibiotics are best realized in the absence of food in the stomach, about an hour before meals or two hours after - make sure you follow the instructions on the label distribution. Do not drink alcohol if metronidazole. Do not take tetracyclines with dairy products because they can accommodate this type of antibiotics reduced.
