Antibiotics are “right and wrong” in upper respiratory treatment.
Hey, have you ever thought about the idea of a “one down” of antibiotics when you have a respiratory disease? Now, don’t worry, the antibiotics are in the upper respiratory treatment, and there’s a lot of doorways, like a medical drama full of suspense.
The upper respiratory disease, which is a big family, is flu, flu, sootitis, tonsilitis, etc. Some of these are virus-disturbing, like a common cold, mostly caused by nose viruses and coronary viruses. If you’re on antibiotics, it’s like killing a chicken with a dragon knife. Antibiotics are mostly for bacteria, and there’s nothing we can do about the virus, there’s no cell walls for the virus, and there’s no focus for an antibiotic attack.
Let’s talk about a cold. A lot of people go to the doctor for antibiotics when they have a cold. They think it’ll be better. Actually, taking antibiotics doesn’t do much to catch a cold, it could cause some trouble. Antibiotics swam through your body, and they could have hurt your intestinal fungus. These good fungus are used in the intestinal tract to help you digest food, make vitamins, betwixt antibiotics, reduce their number, and create an imbalance in the intestinal herbs, so that you may suffer from a state of discomfort such as stomach swelling, diarrhea or constipation.
But, if upper respiratory diseases are caused by bacterial infections, it’s really good for antibiotics. For example, streptococcus caused tonsilitis, when antibiotics were like brave warriors rushing into bacteria and beating them into flowers. It can interfere with the cytowall synthesis of bacteria, render bacteria unprotected, or prevent bacteria from synthesising proteins, and prevent bacteria from “breeding” so as to control infections and reduce symptoms such as throat pain and heat.
But it’s not so easy to treat upper respiratory diseases caused by bacteria with antibiotics. First, you have to choose the right drug, like a key to the lock. Different bacteria are not sensitive to different antibiotics. On the basis of experience or a drug-sensitive test, doctors determine which antibiotics are most effective. Moreover, the dosage of drugs and the treatment process are crucial. The dosage is insufficient, as it tickles the bacteria and kills them; there is a lack of treatment and the bacteria may only be temporarily suppressed, but it may not be long before it re-emerges, and it may be resistant.
Drug resistance is a big problem, like bacterium practice, where antibiotics that used to be easy to handle become useless. This is due to the misuse of antibiotics and the evolution of bacteria in the long struggle against antibiotics. Once bacteria produce resistance, it is difficult to treat them again and may require higher and more expensive antibiotics, sometimes without drugs.
Also, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of respiratory diseases in specific populations is more cautious. Children, for example, are still developing their bodies, and the use of antibiotics may affect their growth and development. The side effects of antibiotics are likely to be more pronounced in the case of the elderly, where physical functioning is reduced. Not to mention pregnant women, the improper use of medication may affect the baby in the stomach.
So, antibiotics don’t mess with respiratory diseases. When you have respiratory problems, don’t rush to look for antibiotics, go to a doctor and let him decide whether it’s a virus or bacteria. If the virus is infected, drink more water and rest and let the body’s own immunity overcome the virus. In the case of bacterial infections, antibiotics are taken on a regular basis, as prescribed by the doctor, and other drugs are stopped or replaced.
In short, antibiotics, in the treatment of upper-respiratory diseases, are both “means” that can kill the enemy and “two-edged sword” that needs to be carefully grabbed. Only by properly understanding it and using it rationally will we be able to win the battle against upper respiratory diseases, while protecting our bodies from unnecessary harm and making our breaths smoother and our lives healthier.
