1. How long antibiotics should be consumed?

   Duration of antibiotic use varies, depending on the type of infection and germs cause. At least 4-5 days. However, if the infection is still not complete, antibiotics should be continued until the complaint and the symptoms disappeared. In typhus, need a few weeks. Similarly is the diphtheria, tetanus. Sampling time on tuberculosis which took many months. Including leprosy.

   In certain infections, after a cup of antibiotic use, need to be re-examination of the bacteria cultures to ascertain whether the bacteria are completely killed. Urinary tract infection, for example, after finishing a cup of antibiotics and had no complaints of symptoms, the bacteria cultures carried out to see what was left in the kidney of germs. If the remaining germs and the antibiotics discontinued, the infection disease will recur again.

   Including the dental infection. Toothache is usually caused by a germ that enters the gums and jaw bone through the gaps in teeth or porous. In such circumstances, swollen gums and tooth pain. Antibiotics are given to the missing tooth pain complaints. If antibiotics taken only a day or two, the bacteria in the gums do not die all, so that the gum infection and tooth pain will recur again.

2. Why antibiotics cannot work?

   Antibiotic does not work because of two things. Most often, the disease-causing germs have developed resistance to these antibiotics. Look for other types of antibiotics which is more sensitive. Usually, resistance testing should be done to find the right type of antibiotic.

   The second because of resistance testing was not done before and immediately given antibiotics randomly, so probably not the right choice for the antibiotics types of disease-causing germs. Antibiotics is not impervious to germs cause.

   We know there are germs of gram-negative. For that we need antibiotics for this type of bacteria. If given an antibiotic for this type of gram-positive bacteria, of course does not work, because the antibiotics misplaced. Or it could be because the infection was not caused by germs, but by viruses or parasites. Skin fungus did not catch fire was given an antibiotic ointment or cream, for example.

3. What the Hard Antibiotic means?

   This means do not need antibiotics from a new generation, if the classical antibiotics (penicillin groups) still work. However, for only a mild infection (flu), antibiotics are often given the latest generation. In addition to much more expensive, the body also carry side effects are usually more severe. The more powerful antibiotics, usually the harder side effects too. Kill flies do not have to use arrows, simply tapped. Similarly of light infections. If possible, do not hastily put on antibiotics. Our bodies have the antibodies. Each seedling disease, of any kind, which enters the body, to be exterminated by the immune system itself. New body surrender if the seeds are malignant disease, numerous, and the immune system is weak.

   Not every time the germs enter our bodies will fall ill. If the prime immunity, germs that have entered the body will fail to infect, and we are off sick. Infection generally occurs only when the body is weak. For that, need help anti sent from the outside. Anti shipment from outside that is played by antibiotics.

4. Why people can pass out after a drink or a shot of antibiotics?

   Sometimes, after a drink or an injection of antibiotics can be passed. Certain people are gifted allergies, are generally not resistant to penicillin-type antibiotics, either drunk or injected. A few minutes to several hours later came an allergic reaction. Flavor thick and itching on the lips, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and fainting. If mild itching. The reaction can lead to great blistered skin reactions, ulcerous-ulcer (Steven-Johnson syndrome).

   For the talented allergies, should be tested first before getting an injection of penicillin class antibiotic. If positive, do not be given. Or if ever there was a history of itching after a drink or injection of antibiotics, make notes, so next time can remind doctors that do not bear the antibiotics. Now allergic reaction to antibiotics is rare, because there are many choices of antibiotics are more superior to without the risk of penicillin allergy.

5. Are all antibiotics just to be drunk?

   No. In addition to the drug in a drink (oral), there is also in the form of injection, ointments, creams, suppositories (inserted into the rectum or vagina); lotions, and drops. Skin infections using an antibiotic ointment or cream, red eye infections using eye drops or ointment, middle ear infections using antibiotic ear drops, antibiotics used germ white bullet-shaped which is inserted into the vagina (for a married, does not make that as a girl).

   Antibiotics streptomycin, garamycine, only in the form of injections, is not available in the form of tablets or capsules. In contrast, most antibiotics are not necessarily taken in the form of injections. But, there is also a good antibiotic in the form of injections or a drink.

   Tinge with antibiotic powder on the sore tooth cavity such as the customs or the injured person, not very precise. Effect of antibiotic penetration into the infected gum tissue is not as good as when taken, or could absorb such an optimal antibiotic is in the form of an ointment or cream, if to be used on the skin.
