Person has major parasite infections.. can antibiotics makes it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If the infection is parasitic, there are very few antibiotics (which generally for bacteria) that i can think of that would help at all. But they could create resistent bacteria in you body. For parasites, a antiparasitic med is needed.
