A member asked:
I have been in several antibiotics for a leg infection, and 3x amoxicillin-clauvate for a chronic sinus issue months later .do i have antibiotics resistance now? and if so, what can be done?

People do not develop antibiotic resistance, germs do. If you have been on several you would kill off susceptible germs but those germs resistant to the antibiotics you took will remain and prosper in sites previously held by other germs. The best antibiotic for a given problem is picked through testing. There are many choices. Just live life, get balanced nutrition and rest.

A swab from the wound will show the organism and which antibiotics it is sensitive to. Good Luck
