Posted by Naomi Nessim, January 15, 2019 (last updated on June 10, 2019) If you or your child has ever had an ear infection, strep throat, or bronchitis, you’re probably familiar with antibiotics. They are a commonly prescribed — and highly useful — form of medicine that has taken us out of an age where minor bacterial infections could be fatal. have taken antibiotics at some point in their life, while prescriptions given to children occur at an even higher rate. Unfortunately, nearly 30% of all antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. The medical community has long been in debate about whether the pros of antibiotics outweigh the cons but one thing is certain: antibiotics, while helpful, need to be taken with caution. Read on to learn more about what antibiotics are, the pros and cons of taking antibiotics, and which illnesses and infections can be treated with antibiotics. Essentially, antibiotics are medications that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They work in two ways: they kill the bad bacteria causing the infection and keep the bacteria from reproducing more harmful bacteria.

While there are over 100 types of antibiotics, there are 10 antibiotics that are most commonly used: Amoxicillin Azithromycin Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Clindamycin Cephalexin Ciprofloxacin Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim Metronidazole Levofloxacin Doxycycline. Each type of antibiotic is only effective for certain types of bacterial infections (like strep throat or a urinary tract infection). When an antibiotic is prescribed, it’s meant to treat the specific spectrum of germs that are causing the infection. They are not, however, effective at treating viral infections (like a cold or the flu). What do I need to know about antibiotic resistance?

The first antibiotics were discovered in the 1920s and couldn’t have come at a better time.

Back then, even minor bacterial infections like strep throat were known to be fatal because there wasn’t an effective way to treat them.

When the use of antibiotics became more widespread in the 1940s, people started living longer because of the ability to stop bad bacteria in its tracks. Since then, antibiotics have become a staple of modern medicine, used to treat everything from urinary tract infections to pneumonia. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics has created a worldwide problem. Doctor’s have been prescribing them to patients who don’t really need them, a lot of whom have viral infections that can’t be treated with antibiotics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world.

New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases.
