A member asked:
Is it true that after a course of antibiotics for one problem, another bacteria can pop up, which in the end, keeps repeating the antibiotic cycle?

Antibiotics: Yes. You have it correct. But, this is why you work with a medical advisor you trust. Limiting the treatment side effects or consequences is a part of the art of medicine.
