This prompt focuses on when/would you take antibiotics. Antibiotics should be used to help treat a bacterial infection and not a viral infection like the flu, cold, etc. You should only take antibiotics when you really need so your immune system stays strong and you don’t want your body to “get use to” it or create a resistance so it won’t have the same effect when you really do need to use it. Examples of times where you could take antibiotics are; severe acne/rosacea, an ear infection, bronchitis, STI’s, UTI’s, etc. What shaped my personal philosophy has been listening to my parents growing up about what types of medications are for what, as well as going to doctors, and dermatologist for my severe acne growing up.
