HealthDoctor Warns Against Risks of Self-Medicating with Antibiotics
Dr. Pallav Mishra, an internal medicine expert, explains that antibiotics are effective only when prescribed for the right bacterial infections at the correct dose and duration. Self-medicating with antibiotics can be harmful, as many common illnesses like colds and flu are viral and do not respond to antibiotics. Unnecessary use can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat and posing risks to individuals and the community.
