A member asked:
When and how should you take antibiotic when there's no doctor around you? there are so many different classes of antibiotics. how to know which one is your practical option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic selection often is complex: the kind of infection, the site infected, the bacteria known or likely to be the cause, and other factors. Usually a health professional needs to be involved in the decision; this usually isn't something you can safely do yourself.
