Common misconceptions about antibiotics:

1. When you have a cold or sore throat, you must take antibiotics to cure the disease.

wrong. Antibiotics cannot cure diseases caused by viruses or allergies, such as colds and flu. Antibiotics are only necessary when there is a bacterial infection.

2. If the symptoms disappear, you do not need to continue taking the entire course of antibiotics.

wrong. Take the entire course of treatment on time according to the doctor's instructions. Do not stop or reduce the dosage on your own when the symptoms disappear, so as to prevent the bacteria from developing drug resistance, making the antibiotics ineffective and unable to cure the disease.

3. After taking antibiotics, if symptoms persist, you can go to the pharmacy to buy antibiotics and continue taking them.

wrong. Antibiotics can only be purchased at registered pharmacies with a doctor's prescription. If your condition does not improve or even worsens after taking the full course of treatment, you should consult a doctor immediately.

4. The remaining antibiotics can be given to others or saved for next use.

wrong. There are many types of antibiotics. Different types of antibiotics are used to treat different types of bacteria. Similar symptoms do not necessarily indicate the same disease, so antibiotics should not be passed on to others or saved for next use. In addition, taking expired antibiotics may be harmful to the body, so do not keep expired medicines.

5. Antibiotics are special anti-inflammatory drugs that are effective for all inflammations.

wrong. Anti-inflammatory drugs are a general name that includes different types of drugs, such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics and certain enzymes, each with different effects. Antibiotics can only treat inflammation caused by bacterial infection, so they should be prescribed by a doctor based on the condition of the patient. Patients should not force their doctors to prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs or buy them at the pharmacy on their own.
