[–] loomi@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) Probably until my first paper cut and infection after all the antibiotic starts to expire, it’s likely game over some time soon after. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Pixel@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) How often do you take antibiotics now? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] loomi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago As infrequently as possible. Maybe a year ago last time for a sinus infection I couldn’t clear on my own. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkRome@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) You are way overestimating how often antibiotics are needed. I've used them once in my life and it was only a precaution, probably not needed. People who get antibiotics for every little thing are largely responsible for their loss in effectiveness. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] loomi@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I don’t disagree with you. Antibiotic overuse is a real problem. I’ve had surgeries without needing antibiotics afterwards. I try very hard not to rely on antibiotics but have allergies and shitty sinuses. I had an on and off sinus infection I couldn’t clear for something like 9 months. Used every trick in the book and I’d think I’d finally cleared it all, but no. Happy that you seem more healthy overall than me. Good fortune for you. permalink fedilink source parent
