General knowledge of everyday antibacterial drugs

In our daily lives, we inevitably encounter diseases and infections, and as an important tool to combat bacteria, antibacterial drugs play an indispensable role. However, limited awareness of them often leads to misuse. Here, you will be given general knowledge of daily antibacterial drugs, which will help you to use antibacterial drugs properly to protect your health.What’s an antibacterial?Antibacterial drugs are one of the types of drugs that can suppress or kill bacteria, mainly for the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. For example, our common Amocilin, it’s antibacterial. When the human body is invaded by bacteria, there are signs of infection, such as heat, coughing (caused by bacteria), sepsis, etc., the rational use of antibacterial drugs can help the body to remove bacteria, mitigate symptoms and promote recovery.Misuse of antibacterial drugs1. Antibacterial drugs are not the same as anti-inflammatory drugs: antibacterial drugs are mistakenly considered as anti-inflammatory drugs, and, you know, anti-inflammatory drugs are a broader concept, a drug for the eradication of inflammation, which is caused not only by bacterial infections, but also by other factors such as viruses, traumas, allergies, etc. If anti-bacterial drugs are mixed with anti-inflammatory drugs, they can be misused, delayed or cause adverse reactions.2. Injection is more effective than oral: orals do not select intravenous medicine. Although the intravenous drug works fast, there is a high risk of adverse reactions.3. Newer and more expensive antibiotics are more effective: the efficacy of antibiotics is not determined by old, new and price. Old antibiotics, as long as they are sensitive to the bacteria that cause the infection, are still working well. New antibiotics are generally developed for some drug-resistant bacteria. If the bacteria that infect you are not drug-resistant, the new antibiotics may be of some kind as “big material” and may increase the physical burden and economic costs. Doctors choose the most appropriate antibiotics based on the type of bacteria infected, the patient’s physical condition, etc., rather than looking only at old, new and old.How can antibacterial drugs be used rationally?It must be used under the direction of a doctor. Because doctors can judge whether bacterial infections are bacterial by examining, for example, symptoms, laboratory tests (e.g., blood routines to see if white cells are abnormally elevated). The use of antibacterial drugs would have been useless had it not been for bacterial infections, such as the common virus cold.2. Use at the right dose and treatment. It is impossible to reduce the dose on its own, otherwise it is possible to kill bacteria and lead to repeated infections. It is also not possible to increase the dose at random, and overdoses can cause serious side effects.It is essential that there be enough treatment. Even if symptoms are reduced, there may be bacterial residues in the body, which, if stopped early, may cause re-infection and may also be resistant.4. Do not freely share or use the remaining antibacterial drugs. The type of bacteria that is infected by each individual differs from his/her own health, and the drugs that fit others do not necessarily fit himself/herself.The adverse effects of antibacterial drugsAntibacterial drugs may also have adverse effects, such as allergies, digestive tracts, etc., while acting as therapeutics. During the use of antibacterial drugs, the doctor should be informed in a timely manner of any symptoms of discomfort.Avoiding the abuse of antibacterial drugs1. Refrain from the early use of antibacterial drugs for the prevention of infection. Only when there is a clear risk of bacterial infection will doctors consider the use of antibacterial drugs for prevention.2. Do not change antibacterial drugs at will. If the antibacterial drug is not felt to be working well, a doctor should be consulted instead of replacing the drug.Concluding remarksIt is hoped that, through this paper, the general public will be able to properly understand anti-bacterial drugs, avoid abuse and safeguard the health of themselves and future generations.
