I want to know if I can take antibiotics for the occasional infections I sometimes have. However, my fear is what I recently read in some medical journals about the possibilities of resistance to antibiotics by some organisms. Kindly advise me.

It is true that indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to drug resistance. To avoid this, antibiotics should be taken by a doctor’s prescription and should be limited to the prescribed dose and duration.
