- It is better not to give aspirin to babies under 1 year old or people with asthma ( this may
bring on an attack)
- Do not give aspirin to children under 1 year old.
- Do not use antibiotics for infections the body can fight successfully by itself. Save them
for when they are most needed.

UNIT 9 :
- Not all bacteria in the body harmful. Some are necessary for the body to function
normally. Antibiotics often kill the harmful bacteria along with the good ones. Babies who
are given antibiotics sometimes develop fungus infections of the mouth ( thrush) or skin
( moniliasis) . This is because the antibiotics kill the bacteria that help keep fungus under
control.
- For similar reasons, people who take ampicillin and other broad-spectrum for several days
may develop diarrhea. Antibiotics may kill some kinds of bacteria which are necessary
for digestion , upsetting the natural balance of bacteria in the gut.
- The most important reason for limiting the use of antibiotics is that WHEN
ANTIBIOTICS ARE USED TOO MUCH , THEY BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE. When
attacked many times by the same antibiotics, bacteria become stronger and are no longer
killed by it . They become risistant to the antibiotic. For this reason , certain dangerous
diseases, like typhoid , are becoming more difficult to treat than they were a few years
ago.
- In some places , typhoid has become resistant to chloramphenicol , normally the best
medicine for treating it. Chloramphenicol has been used far too much for minor
infections , infections for which other antibiotics would be safer and work as well , or for
which no antibiotics at all is needed.
- DO NOT USE ANTIBIOTICS FOR INFECTIONS THE BODY CAN FIGHT
SUCCESSFULLY BY ITSELT. SAVE THEM FOR WHEN THEY ARE MOST
NEEDED.
