A member asked:
I've been prescribed so many antibiotics this years...3 times and just got prescribed again. is this bad for me? obviously, can't be good. just worried about antibiotic resistance and good bacteria in my body.

Reasonable concerns: The partial picture presented, as it is not clear what exactly was the antibiotic treatment prescribed for, makes the answer partial as well. The best person to address your worries would be your prescriber, he or she may be able to explain best in the appropriate context use of antibiotics.
