With all the talk about more minor infections I think it needs to be said that
living comfortably with a minor infection is often prefferable to treating it.
It isn't hard to creat drug resistant infections anymore. Some of us have tubes
going inside us. This is a permanent source of infection. If we have an
infection that is a mild annoyance, like smelly urine, we are probably better
off letting our bodies become tolerant to the infection.
By constantly treating infections we are teaching bacteria to defeat our
treatments. I like the mild anti infective advice but I think it is important
to consider allowing our immune systems to become capable of defeating some
infections. This is certainly a point each of us should discuss with our
doctors.
When I had my accident I was given anti biotics a lot. As a result I can't take
several families of drugs. Along with some drugs becoming inneffective, others
cause allergic reactions.Either way, they are now useless and another tool is
gone from the doctors bag of tricks.
