Too Often Antibiotics Harmful - Homeopathic Medication Instead?

Question

I am 19 and was often sick bladder infections and I often had a cold. I took about 25 times antibiotic pills. I read, when you take antibiotics too often, it is harmful. Is this true? How does it harm you?

I have a cold now, coughing, bronchitis, mucous spitting, soar throat. I am scared to take antibiotic again.

Is there anything homeopathic available to treat bacteria?

Answer 1

First and foremost , you need a probiotic or acidophilus supplement. Every time you take an antibiotic, the healthy bacteria in you digestive system is destroyed. It's quite possible that the infection keeps coming back because of a lack of healthy bacteria (aka probiotics).

Alternatives to antibiotics are Oregano oil and Garlic. But also consider taking a good probiotic.

Answer 2

of course antiobiotics aren't safe. while they seem like the may help some symptoms ..they are just damaging other organs and can make you dependent on them. yes homeopathic remedies can be more safe..but only if you take them under the supervision of a homeopathic doctor. and just because its natural does not guarentee you will be free from any harm (though it is rare) what homeopathic remedies usually do are cleanse you from the inside out. and they usully cure poison with posion .meaning if you were to take something for your condition you would probbaly feel symptoms similar (sometimes even wors) than from what you are feeling right now. But this is good, because its just your bodie way of healing yourself. it has to get all those toxins out first. thats how natural remedies work. so look into it some more if you're interested. in the meantime stay away from dairy foods as they create more mucus. Try having ginger tea 3 times a day to help with your throat. Eat lots of garlic (or use supplements) and make sure to get more than 100% intake of vitamin C .

Answer 3

You can certainly take homeopathics but they will not do anything. I sounds like you have a cold or flu. Just give it time and see how you are likely you will be just fine without taking anything. Antibiotics only work on bacterial infection not a virus. If you get another bladder infection then not treating it properly can lead to a kidney infection really not fun. Oh and you can take bottles of homeopathics and nothing will happen except your wallet will be lighter.

Answer 4

Homeopathic medicine can help you with some of the problems that you are having as well as to treat the bacteria.

However, you will need to see a practitioner as the medicine needs to be prescribed according to your needs.

You will also need to take probiotics to help repair your immune function due to taking too much antibiotics.
