City (Lord Media): Health experts have issued a warning against the self-medication of antibiotics for common ailments like fever, cough, or cold, stating that it can harm the body’s internal systems, digestion, and immunity.
Antibiotics are effective in treating bacterial infections, but common colds, coughs, and flu are caused by viruses, against which these drugs are ineffective.
Experts emphasize that antibiotics should only be used under the guidance of a qualified doctor. Frequent use of these medications can damage the human body’s microbiome, leading to digestive issues.
In children, unnecessary use of antibiotics can affect their immune system. Therefore, pediatricians advise that these medicines should only be administered to children upon a doctor’s recommendation.
