LATEST NEWS: ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Yesterday the CDC released a report about a Nevada woman who died after an infection resistant to 26 antibiotics, which is to say all available antibiotics in the U.S. In short, there is no cure if you or your child catches such an infection.

Takeaway: How do you control this scary scenario? Minimize the usage of antibiotics. Frustrated by fever and flu like symptoms, many parents explicit demand antibiotics to treat their child. What they unwittingly doing is to aid the growth of antibiotic resistant microbes. Talk to your doctor. Minimize antibiotics to only when absolutely needed.
