Every time I or my toddlers goes to a clinic we always end up with a bottle of antibiotic.
Is there some sort of commission based payment for this stuff? Ask a doctor for direction to a bus stop and you will end up with prescription Amoxil.
So far my toddler who is 3.5 years old has never had a dose, all 8 bottles have sat in the cupboard gathering dust.
I had an 8 hour open brain surgery in the US a few months ago and no antibiotic was ever given.
In the West people tend to avoid it like the plague in my whole life I think I have had it 4 times, here you mention you have a cut to a local and they say get some antibiotics, in my mind it should only be used as a final line of defense.
