A member asked:
Why is it that every time i am prescribed antibiotics with the "basics" it works for awhile and then i have to get a stronger one?

Infections: If you have frequent infections you need to have your immune system checked by an immunologist. You also build resistance with repeated courses of antibiotics and need stronger ones.
