Taking antibiotics when they are not needed accelerates antibiotic resistance - medicines become ineffective and infections harder to treat.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. They don’t cure diseases caused by viruses like .

𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 is the use of medicinal products by an individual to cure self-diagnosed symptoms or the improper administration of prescription medicinal products, including intermittent or prolonged use of antibiotics and sharing drugs.

Most research on self-medication have not examined antibiotic sharing. 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 with 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 causes 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. Recent meta-analyses estimate that 38% of the world's population self-medicates and shares antibiotics. Self-medication is most common in Southeast Asia and the WHO Western Pacific Region (58–64%). In these regions, antibiotic resistance is highest and rising.

When do we need antibiotics?
Only bacterial infections require antibiotics. This includes bloodstream infections, skin abscesses/impetigo, bacterial pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and streptococcal pharyngitis. Certain antibiotics, including azithromycin, should be used sparingly in children, so ask your child's doctor what is needed for their bacterial illness.

Antibiotics won't kill, prevent, or stop the transmission of viruses that cause colds, sore throats, upper respiratory infections, and influenza. Rest and time cure colds. Within 10-14 days, your child's symptoms should improve, and an antibiotic isn't necessary.

70,000 youngsters visit the ER due to antibiotic responses, according to research. Diarrhea, liver, and kidney damage might result from improper prescribing. Antibiotics can combine with other drugs and cause life-threatening adverse reactions, requiring ER visits.

#𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 (AR) is a significant public health concern today, especially since self-medication is rampant in the Philippines, with a prevalence of 31–66%. But what exactly are antibiotics? 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 are medicines used to prevent and treat illnesses caused by bacteria. What happens if bacteria evolve in response to this medication? #𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 may happen!

According to the 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, more than 𝟮.𝟴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 antibiotic-resistant illnesses occur in the United States each year. According to the CDC's 2019 Antibiotic Resistance (AR) Threats Report, more than 𝟯𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 people die. Antimicrobial resistance is expected to kill 𝟳𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 people worldwide each year. In addition, antibiotic resistance is associated with more significant medical expenses, more extended hospital stays, and higher mortality.

Here at 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗪, we will be spreading aw𝗔𝗥eness about 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 and ways to prevent and control the spread. However, it's past time for us to begin protecting our future by learning and educating ourselves on using antibiotics appropriately.

Let us work together and bring ourselves f𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗪ay from the implications for our future.

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗲 was born in Florence, Italy, on 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟮, 𝟭𝟴𝟮𝟬. She was a British nurse, social reformer, and statistician who is best known as the creator of modern nursing. Her efforts to change paramedical healthcare, particularly nursing, had a significant impact on the quality of care in the 19th and 20th century.

Florence Nightingale was involved in philanthropy from an early age, tending to the sick and impoverished in the village adjacent to her family's estate. By the time she was 16 years old, she knew that nursing was her vocation. She believed that it was her divine calling.

Florence Nightingale felt unwell in August 1910, although she apparently recovered and was in excellent spirits. A week later, on Friday evening, August 12, 1910, she manifested a variety of distressing symptoms. The next day, Saturday, August 13, 1910, at 2 p.m., she passed away unexpectedly in her London home. The Florence Nightingale Museum commemorates the life and work of the "𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘢" with more than 2,000 items. The museum is located on the site of the original Nightingale Training School for Nurses. Florence Nightingale is still well recognized and revered as the pioneer of modern nursing.
