The winter flu campaign against antibiotics.
On the first day of winter, the flu, the “little demon”, began to rage in the crowd, and many people unfortunately “bite”. At this time, antibiotics are often mentioned as “a panacea” against the disease. But is it true? Today, let’s talk about antibiotics in the winter flu campaign.
Influenza. Antibiotics aren’t the Savior.
Influenza is caused by specific influenza viruses, such as influenza A and B. They spread at a fast rate, which allows us to quickly experience high heat, headaches, powerlessness and muscular acidity. A lot of people think they’re getting flu, they want some antibiotics, they think it’s good. But the antibiotics say, “I don’t know what to say.” Antibiotics are mainly for bacteria and are of little use to viruses. Influenza virus is like a group of elves, and antibiotics are the weapons used to deal with the bacteria of the Big Monster, and they can’t hit the Elves with weapons against the Big Monster. So, simple flu, using antibiotics is like letting Zhang Fei embroidery, making a mistake.
It’s called “Courage of Life”.
Although antibiotics are “no good” for viruses, they have real skills in dealing with bacteria. There is a wide variety of antibiotics, each with a unique “mode of combat”. Penicillin, for example, can interfere with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, like the Building Destroyer. Bacteria cell walls are like bacteria’ “salvations”, without which bacteria can easily “ hang up”. And there’s a four cyclic that can block the synthesis of bacterial proteins like a “traffic commander”. Protein is important to bacteria, and without it bacteria cannot grow and breed.
In the hospital, if the patient is infected with the wound, the doctor determines that it was caused by bacteria, it is reasonable to use antibiotics. There are signs of bacterial infection, such as bruises, swollen and sept wounds, when antibiotics are like “saviours” that can “strike the bacteria into flowers” and heal the wounds slowly.
The Great Pocket of Antibiotic Abuse
However, antibiotics, though powerful, cannot be readily used. The abuse of antibiotics, like the opening of the Pandora Box, has many serious consequences.
First, it leads to bacterial resistance. Bacteria is smart, and long-term exposure to antibiotics can evolve and respond. For example, some bacteria change their own structure so that antibiotics do not find an “attack point”. It’s like the bad guys learn to avoid the police. Once the bacteria are resistant, the same antibiotics will not be used. Imagine, if all bacteria were to be drug-resistant in the future, we would be like soldiers without weapons, in the face of bacterial infections.
Secondly, it destroys the intestinal balance. We have a lot of good fungus in our intestinal tracts, and they’re like a bunch of little guards who protect our intestinal health and help digest it. However, antibiotics are “good or bad” and can also be beneficial when killing harmful bacteria. This is like a district where there were good people and bad people, and where the good people were driven out in order to catch them. Diarrhoea, indigestion and so forth can occur after intestinal disequilibria.
In addition, the abuse of antibiotics may cause allergies. Some are allergic to antibiotics, which can be followed by rashes, itching, severe breathing difficulties and shock. It’s not a joke, like you think it’s the Savior, and it’s the enemy.
What’s with the antibiotics?
Although flu is mainly caused by viruses and generally does not use antibiotics, in some cases it is required. If the influenza patients are less resistant and the virus destroys the body’s line, bacteria enter and cause bacterial infections, such as bacterial pneumonia, which requires antibiotics. The test will determine whether there is a combination of bacterial infections, like blood routines, which, if white cells, neutral particles rise, may suggest bacterial infections; and C, which reacts to a protein rise, which may also be a sign of bacterial infections. In addition, if the patient coughs and coughs yellow, green and thick, it may combine bacterial infections. But it’s up to the doctor to judge it. We can’t just come up with antibiotics.
The “secretary” of the rational use of antibiotics
If a doctor turns on antibiotics, we have to do it the right way.
One is to take it on time. Antibiotics are like a well-trained “force” that has to “go out” at the required time and dosage to maximize its power. For example, doctors say they eat three times a day, each time in one piece, strictly. If you eat and stop, it’s like letting the troops move in and back, the bacteria will take advantage of the “counterattack” and easily produce resistance.
And the second is that you can’t stop. Some friends ate antibiotics for a few days, felt less ill, felt better, stopped taking them. That’s not good! Symptoms may have been reduced only temporarily and not completely eliminated. As if the enemy had not been completely defeated on the battlefield, you had withdrawn and the enemy would soon return. Therefore, it is important to complete the medication as prescribed by the doctor.
Three is not to change drugs. Each antibiotics has its own “combat characteristics” and the medication prescribed by the doctor is carefully selected on the basis of the condition. If you feel that this drug is not working well, any change in it may not only be incurable but may also aggravate the disease.
The Antibiotic Trap in Life
There are other places in life where we can be caught in the wrong zone of antibiotics. For example, when parents see their children with a cold fever, they turn over the remaining antibiotics to the children before they leave their homes. This is dangerous, the condition of the child may not be the same as before, and the type and dose of antibiotics available to children of different ages are also strictly required.
Also, there may be irregularities in the use of antibiotics in some small clinics. Some doctors provide antibiotics to make patients feel better, whether they are bacterial or not. We’ve got to keep our eyes open. If there’s any doubt about the use, we have to ask more questions or go to the big hospital.
In addition, some people are superstitious about the importation of antibiotics and feel that imports must be better than domestic production. In fact, the efficacy of antibiotics depends on whether they are right, not whether they are imported. It’s the best antibiotic that fits the disease.
Fight against the antibiotics. Win the flu.
In the battle of winter influenza, antibiotics have its effect, but they are by no means “the key to all”. We need to understand its characteristics, when it should be used, when it should not be. Avoid the misuse of antibiotics and protect the “ecological environment” of our bodies so that they can exercise their power when they are really needed. In this way, we will be able to better protect our health and that of our families in the event of the pandemic and to spend a warm and secure winter. Remember, the rational use of antibiotics is an important part of our victory in this battle for health.
