The majority of cases of acute bronchitis is viral. Therefore, antibiotics do not work in the majority of cases of acute bronchitis. Doctors tend to over prescribe antibiotics for this condition. Other over-the-counter medications just help with symptoms, i.e. cough, congestion, sore throat, etc. So yes, in the majority of cases, you still can spread the virus. Use preventative methods to keep others around you healthy; i.e. washing hands frequently, coughing and/or sneezing into your elbow crease, etc.
They develop resistance to antibiotics .
Oral and injected antibiotics require a prescription. There are some topical (applied to the skin) antibiotics which are sold over the counter.
Yes, over use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant.
antibiotics should not be over used because antibiotics taken unnecessarily may kill the beneficial bacteria in the body.
Because the organisms that the antibiotics kill (to make you better) evolve resistance to the antibiotics when they are exposed to them. This means that the more the exposure (prescribing) the faster resistance develops. Antibiotics should therefore ONLY be used when really needed and taken EXACTLY as they are meant to. Stopping a dose of antibiotics before a full course of treatment is worse than over prescribing.

Majority
Yes, but don't blame the pharmacist. Blame the doctors who have been over prescribing antibiotics for decades.
A properly functioning democracy IS the majority - the people - majority rule, minority rights.While there is always room for criticism, it should be constructive, not constant carping by the self-interested or the unrealistically idealistic or those seeking indirect power over the majority. Vocal minorities seek to overthrow democracy - the will of the majority - to implement their own minority agenda over the majority. Such a system of rule by the minority over the majority is Oligarchy, not Democracy.
