Antibiotics are medicines designed to treat or prevent bacterial infections. They do this by destroying bacteria, or stopping them from reproducing.
In my understanding, antibiotic resistance refers to when medicines no longer respond to one’s health. It is a pity that sometimes patients are not given time by health workers to understand these key health issues.
your right I suffer with cellulitis a lot I’ve also suffered from a cerebellar Infarct and a stroke affecting my left side I’m 43 now and both of the strokes were missed back in 2009 and again in 2011 from different MRI scans by 2 different hospitals but the point is one of the reasons I get reoccurring cellulitis is fluid retention which I believe can be caused because of a stroke I can now tell when it’s starting to flair up I contact the doctor and even with blisters I have battles to get medication to catch it before it gets close to becoming septic more recently I also had a bad mouth infection for over 8 weeks and the antibiotics I was taking for my legs weren’t working as they were trying to keep my mouth infection from getting worse I ended up calling 111 going to an out of hours dentist as my own would prescribe antibiotics more suitable for mouth infections and the out of hours dentist gave me 2 courses even after I finished those courses the infection s were still present and instead of trying to rush my referral to have teeth taken out at the hospital and prescribing more I had to endure the pain of having 3 pieces of tooth taken out as the anaesthetic doesn’t work at all on me basically after my essay I totally agree the health care professionals need to take more time listening to the patient for starters and then deciding the correct course to take as even my dentist ignored what I told her but also if more time was taken things like ,y strokes wouldn’t of been missed and I wouldn’t of had to deal with going through 2 strokes by myself at such a young age and the second might even of been prevented
