Antibiotics: The way you are taking the antibiotics is one of the ways we get bacteria that are resistant. Taking it for a couple of doses, stopping it for a few days, then starting again. Or just taking it for a few days then stopping. This selects for bacteria that are resistant to the drug because they are exposed but not killed, they develop immunity or resistance. Take all your antibiotics tell gone.
