this would happen because maybe the last time you took antibiotics you didn't fully finish the dose thinking your much better and don't need it, however the remaining bacteria would not have been killed and become stronger the next time you take the antibiotics because they have already been through the stage and can prepare themselves to fight it off.

I know this cuz i did a whole essay on it.

What kind of infections do antibiotics fight?

Antibiotics fight bacterial infections, antibiotics do not fight all bacterial infections however, they generally fight one of two types of bacteria (gram negative and gram positive). Antibiotics have no effect on viral infections or parasites, but they are sometimes prescribed with a viral infection to prevent a bacterial superinfection - when you get a bacterial infection because your immune system was weakened by the viral infection first. Antibiotics have saved more lives than those lost in any war but overusing them or not finishing a course can lead to the evolution of resistant bacteria which can no longer be killed by antibiotics.

Are antibiotics pain killers?

NO. They are antibiotics. anti = against; and bio = life. Therefore antibiotics kill bacteria etc. (Indirectly, antibiotics may contribute to pain relief if the pain is caused by the types of infection resulting from those germs which antibiotics kill. However, antibiotics should never be taken as a direct painkiller. Rather, one should take them to fight germs when one has become infected; but only after ascertaining that antibiotics are needed and will help. A doctor should be consulted. Taking antibiotics for too long, or when not needed, can have unwanted consequences.)


What is dysgammaglobulinemia I would like to know your signs and symptoms. That's something that I have not been able to find . I would also like to meet others with this rare so they say disease?

From what my Immunologist told me, Dysgammaglobuinemia is an immune disease that effects your platelets. Your body just does not produce the right ammount of platelets to properly fight off infections. In my case, if i get an infection, I end up in the hospital for IV antibiotics, because prescription antibiotics do not work.. My body just fights off the antibiotics just as its and infection itself. Treatment consist of : long term oral antibiotics and if they dont keep me from getting a respiratory infection, then monthly Gammaglobulin infusions will have to be administered.
