 Antibiotic Resistance:


 A Quiet Worldwide Emergency

Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have been our most dependable friends in the fight against infectious diseases. Antibiotic resistance is a dangerous enemy that has emerged as a result of its overuse and abuse. One of the biggest risks to world health today is this phenomenon, in which germs develop resistance to the effects of antibiotics.

Antibiotic resistance: What is it?

When bacteria adapt to the use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance develops. Even in the presence of medications intended to kill them, these modifications allow them to live and spread. While resistance is a natural evolutionary process, human actions have accelerated it to harmful levels.


Antibiotic Resistance Causes




Overuse of antibiotic prescriptions

Despite the fact that antibiotics have no impact on viruses, many medical practitioners prescribe them for viral diseases like the flu or the common cold. Resistance is fueled by this needless use.


Inadequate Dosage Schedules

Some bacteria survive and become resistant when patients don't finish the antibiotic treatments they were prescribed, which makes treating recurrent infections more difficult.



Misuse of Agriculture

Antibiotics are frequently used in cattle, even in healthy animals, in many nations to encourage growth and ward off sickness. Resistance is greatly exacerbated by this extensive use.

  How to control high fever immediately    In most cases, a child who has a seizure should see a doctor. The doctor may suggest controlling their temperature with acetaminophen and ensuring that they drink plenty of fluids. If necessary, they may also prescribe an anticonvulsant, such as sodium valproate or clonazepam. A fever is a symptom, not an illness. A doctor can diagnose a fever by checking the person’s body temperature, but they will also need to diagnose the reason for the fever. To do so, they will examine the individual and ask them about any other symptoms and their medical history.
