BRAVO! It’s still a wonder why people tend to self-medicate… especially when antibiotics are concerned. Unknown to them, they’re actually creating new strains of drug-resistant bacteria! (Go, TB!) Talk about spreading disease..

Anyway, I read your ‘about’ page and was happy to see a fellow UP Manila blogger. I’m from College of Nursing, but don’t bother asking around for me, I use a different name online. Haha.

I just want to ask… how do you find time to update your blog while you’re studying Med at UP? That’s a major feat!

I usually take Biogesic when I can’t barely move from fever. But if its only a mild one, I don’t take anything at all. I just let it be, eventually it’ll pass.. right? LOL.

@Cyberpunk: I do that too sometimes. Although, I’m not really sure if its effective or not. Haha! Is it, Doctor Benj? LOL.

Reading this post is like watching Grey’s Anatomy or House. Well, Grey’s, not so much, mas maraming drama dun eh.

Hmm, I only self-medicate with anti-biotics if i have tonsillitis or laryngitis (nako, tama ba spelling?). Otherwise, I don’t take any unless I have other infections and the doctor would tell me to take some. But for fever and migraine, I simply take Biogesic and Advil. Am I misusing drugs?

I totally agree on this one. Before I read a lot on natural and herbal medicines. Not to sound new-agey and all but “Ant-Bio” which is also is something similar to anti-life. The effects on our body isn’t really good unless i’s really needed for treatments.
