When an infection lasts, antibiotics become necessary . Not always .... Some diseases like bronchitis for example do not require antibiotics. They often have a viral origin and are naturally slow to fade. And antibiotics do not change anything.

You can not drink alcohol when you take antibiotics ... It depends. There is no real interaction between alcohol and these medications unless it is metronidazole, used to treat vaginal (such as Flagyl®) or dental (Elyzol®) infections. In combination with alcohol, it can cause an increase in heart rate, hot flashes or nausea.

If you take antibiotics for a short time, you have less fungal infections. Yes and no. It limits the risk, but when you are prone to fungal infections it is mainly because the vaginal flora is already unbalanced and conducive to the proliferation of candida albicans, responsible for mycosis. And antibiotics accentuate this fragile balance by changing the pH, regardless of the duration of antibiotic therapy. The parade: take an antifungal egg (gyno-pévaryl and its generics, based on econazole, without prescription) at the end of treatment to prevent the proliferation of the fungus.

Only in the hospital is there resistance to antibiotics. No. In recent years, resistance has also emerged in Escherichia coli, a bacterium that occurs naturally in our intestines. At the origin of urinary infections, it becomes more and more difficult to treat. To the point that flash treatment (one shot) or 3 days are no longer relevant because the bacteria resist these treatments and that the medicines give antibiotic therapy over 10 days.
