What if antibiotics don’t kill the infection?

Question

Hi. I was put on Amoxicillin following acute bacterial sinusitis for 10 days. It’s been two weeks since I started (4 days since my prescription ended) and the infection is still here. Same as it was 2 weeks ago. What should I do?

Answer 1

I know that they will keep putting you on courses of antibiotics untill the infection is gone. Some elderlies are so used to antibiotics, everytime they get an infection following a flu, that the doctors run out of antibiotic options to give them after many courses, then they die. The doctor can also give you a placebo antibiotic without your knowledge. That is bad, but they are still allowed to do it where I am.

I use a tone fresh garlic and fresh lemon as antibiotic because my bacteria never win against them, no matter what strain is in my lungs. But then I know what I'm doing, I am specialising in microbiology, I know how much and how often during the day to take them. I've had many practicals involving strep bacteria being put against many antibiotics in petri dishes, including household and prescribed antibiotics, even against stuff like washing up liquid.

Sometimes you need to fight the infection yourself. Keep following up with the doctor for any lab work that is needed and you should be able to call a 24/7 medical advice line if you have medical insurance, so make sure to monitor your symptoms and call. There's also poison control, they should be able to know about antibiotics. Sometimes it takes longer than 2 weeks to be on antibiotics. If you keep overwashing, using alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer, you will be making the bacteria even more resistant.

I've been on antibiotics several times for UTI and even tonsillitis. my grandma had to take antibiotics for some reason and she had a mouth infection because the antibiotics killed off her good bacteria.

You should try to take probiotics, so you restore your healthy bacteria.

Antibiotics kill the good and bad bacteria, so it can make you more prone to newer infections.

I think you should change. Ask the medical store or go to doctor.
