Before my doctor puts me on antibiotics, he listens to my chest, has my blood tested, I have an xray, and then, he evaluates everything to see if I need antibiotics (in this case antifungal, lol). This is also because I took way too much penicillin, amoxicillin, etc. as a kid due to constant severe ear infections. I think you develop a resistance to antibiotics???
So if you doctor doesn't do tests, then maybe you should switch doctors if you can. As you suggested, they're no point in giving out antibiotics. That's how we get really bad antibiotic resistant diseases!! |
I'm given a different kind of antibiotic every time for that reason!
It sucks b/c some have weird ways u need 2 take(one I took, you couldnt eat for 2-3 hours before or after taking!), or made me really sick(Zpak) or just run me empty(Levaquin).
I've been put on them several times before with "a clear chest" so to say..nothign was heard in listening 2 my lungs and nothing was seen in the x-ray. For some reason my lungs don't wheeze unless I'm really, really sick. And inflammation won't show in x-rays either..
But everytime when the antibiotic works, we know it was an infection.
