Its not a good idea to just abuse antibiotics like that. This is how you develop super bugs.

If that were exactly true then I’d be resistant to amoxicillin and have made all the superbugs in the world. I literally grew up on it and was using it about every other month because of my asthma I was constantly having sinus infections and practically lived on it so I’m a little weary on the whole superbug part. Also utilizing it when it may call for it as a precaution should have little I’ll effect. We don’t just dose willynilly but I do understand your concern and I was wondering how long it would be till someone called me on that.n
