Antibiotics are the panacea for pain relief. But not all people know that antibiotics can not be used to cure all diseases. If any wrong use can cause fatal, or until allergy to antibiotics.

Communities not aware of its use that antibiotics should not be used arbitrarily. When the fever and flu attack, the antibiotic drug is often as a reference. Even incomplete injuries like fall down, using antibiotic medication.

The first antibiotic founded by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Then, in the 1940s began to antibiotics widely used. At that time, scientists predict the world, with the discovery of antibiotics, in the 1960s predicted the world clean of infectious diseases.

However, instead of resolved infection, instead of emerging bacterial resistance from antibiotic use. In fact, in 1990 called as antibiotic era. Until at certain condition where antibiotics do not work anymore. Among the 20 kinds of antibiotics, only one who can treat infectious diseases.

In 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed high concern to the development of resistant bacteria. WHO global alert declared or the war against to resistant bacteria.

The unwise use of antibiotics reach 80 percent. Like the case in RSU Dr. Soetomo, Kuntaman inform that the number resistant to first-line antibiotics (mild infectious diseases) may reach 90 percent and second-line (the infection was) approached 50 percent, the number of bacteria producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL, type of bacteria that are difficult to treat) reaches 29 to 36 percent. When compared with the figure Netherlands less than one percent.

The high use of antibiotics in hospitals will increase the number of bacteria resistance in place, which eventually complicate therapy. Antibiotics are medicines that can be used to kill germs, viruses, worms, protozoa, and fungi. Usually, if you have pain and caused some of these, antibiotic medicine.

Antibiotics are needed when someone is sick with fever. If the pain is not accompanied by fever, they may don’t need of antibiotics. In order not arbitrary in its use, the public should know the type of antibiotic. Among them, tetracyclin used for infections, toothache, and wounds. Type of chloramphenicol used for typhus fever. Type griseofulfin used to kill fungus and combantrin to kill worms.

There are also narrow-spectrum, which is useful to kill specific types of bacteria. Antibiotics are classified as narrow-spectrum is amphicillin and amoxicillin. The second type of broad-spectrum is to kill all types of bacteria in the body. It is advisable to avoid eating these types of antibiotics.

Therefore, antibiotics that kill other bacteria that are useful to the body. Antibiotics including cephalosporin category is. Viral diseases can not be given antibiotics. For example, the flu or a cold. Because antibiotics can kill viruses because the virus can die alone, as long as the patient endurance increased or improved. However, in its development, there are currently developed antibiotics to kill the virus., But it would be dangerous. The use of antibiotics is not in place and too much can jeopardize health. For example, lead to gastrointestinal disturbances (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting). Fearing the ordinary people who do not understand, use this antibiotic doses for all types of diseases.

Patients may experience an allergic reaction. Began as a mild rash and itching to severe such as swelling of the lips, eyelids, until breathing disorders. Therefore, it could be allergic to these antibiotics.

Effect occurs can be mild to severe. Patients may experience shock or shock anaphylactic because the use of these antibiotics. More dangerous, drugs can also cause liver abnormalities. As is known, the antibiotic has a chemical raw material. In addition to working to kill germs, chemicals must be neutralized in order secure to the body. The trick actually break the chemical.
