We hear often, "antibiotic", what is it and how is it different from regular medicine? And is it the same drug as anti-inflammatory drugs? Sanook Health has the answer from Asst. Prof. Phison Chongtrakul, Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society.
What is an antibiotic?
Antibiotic drugs are drugs that treat bacterial infections. But often wrongly called anti-inflammatory drugs, such as purulent tonsillitis.
What are antibiotics?
The Public Health System Research Institute states that anti-inflammatory drugs or anti-inflammatory drugs. (Anti-inflammatory drugs) is a drug that acts to reduce inflammation, reduce fever, relieve pain, reduce swelling, redness such as aspirin, ibuprofen, no bactericidal activity.
When should I take antibiotics?
Continue to use antibiotics for a reasonable period of time. Or that your doctor recommends To eliminate all pathogenic bacteria
Not stopping the drug prematurely Because it will make the germs not completely eradicated The disease is not completely cured. And come back to be repeated Including increasing the risk of bacterial resistance That is the cause of the disease
Antibiotics should always be taken sensibly. Is to eat when diagnosed with a bacterial infection Do not eat if you have a viral infection.
Do not have to continue to take all antibiotics If it is found that it is unreasonable to take antibiotics, such as in the case of taking antibiotics already And later it was found to have influenza, dengue or fever, arthralgia, Aedes aegypti (Chikungunya) because taking antibiotics to continue taking antibiotics is not beneficial.
The dangers of unreasonable use of antibiotics are:
Risk of drug harm without benefit in treatment.
Interfere with good bacteria in the body And induce them to become bad bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Remember: Do not take antibiotics wildly. Please keep in mind that most diseases are caused by viral infections. Not bacteria |
