Antibiotics have a: Place in healthcare but they are used so frequently that we are becoming immune to some of them. Taking probiotics along w/antibiotics may help reduce your fear because the probiotics will replace the good bacteria that is being killed along with the bad. Hope this helps. Peace and good health.

The physician you: need to talk to is your own. Why are you anxious? Ask your doctor about the purpose for taking the antibiotics? What could potentially happen if you don't take them. What symptoms should improve with antibiotic treatment. What are possible side effects. Hopefully, being better informed well help you to decide what medical care is best for you. Be well.
