Is there any problem with repeating a course of antibiotics (different ailments) with just a week between courses? Normally, I'm fairly hesitant on using antibiotics as its said overuse can lead to reduced efficiency, not only on a personal level but on a population level.

No, no real harm but as you say are they necessary?-certainly here there have been a load of viral upper respiratory infections- occasionally bacterial chest infection- we are constantly being pestered for antibiotics and resist unless clinically indicated - probiotics wouldn't come amiss if you really had to take both courses

Thanks. Some yummy probiotic yogurt has just been added to my shopping list.

I am on antibiotics again after a 5 day break. First time was for eh ill skip why and now I apparently have a respitory infection.


I havent a clue if its bacterial or viral and just do what the doctor says.

The one and only time I put off taking antbiotics because eh its probably viral, I nearly went sepsis. I got lectured by the ER doc on that one.


Hope you feel better Shard.

Do you know any pills that you have to eat with pies?

Aspirin is good with food
