What is an antibiotic?
Antibiotic shot is a drug administered by an injection unlike oral methods (liquids, pills) or intravenous drops. In some diseases, antibiotic shots were extremely common and have certain advantages that make some doctors still prefer. For most common bacterial diseases, gold standard treatment is instead of oral antibiotics and not all types of antibiotics are available in injection form. On the other hand, there are tried and real legitimate use for an antibiotic, although they may differ in each patient.
One of the common uses of antibiotic shot is to start the treatment of certain sexually transmitted diseases that are of bacterial nature. Doctors could consider injected treatment for newly expressed cases of gonorrhea or syphilis, usually using penicillin. Because there are a lot of people allergic to penicillin, it is very important to be verified before the tolerance to drugs it. It is still possible for an allergy to occur, especially if it isThis only for the second or third time when the person received penicillin, and since the shot is injected, the allergic reaction can be extremely dramatic.
Some doctors advocate the use of ear infections with one shot with antibiotics such as penicillin. They argue that such treatment has good results and may avoid the need to use other antibiotics to remove the infection. This is not always the case and the treatment of a single antibiotic shot is not always effective enough. Many people will have to combine the first antibiotic with other oral treatment to fully treat infections.
The very legitimate use of antibiotic shot exists when it seems that one would not have to tolerate the dose of oral drugs. To avoid using intravenous treatment, but to obtain antibiotics "on board" RS can begin with a injected dose. If a child is likely to spit medication or not be able to keep themDue to high fever and vomiting, it can ensure that antibiotics enter the bloodstream and begin to work. Because antibiotics can improve symptoms, the shot can make it easier to use additional doses.
The effects of antibiotic shot may vary by humans. As mentioned, there is a certain risk of an allergic reaction to any drug administered. Any reaction of swelling of the tongue, face or lips or wheezing, hives and breathing problems is a medical emergency. Pages can be painful for several days and can itch or look red. The injection is usually painful, but most people just notice slightly. If the shot is given, patients or carers must ensure that other instructions are understood in care, including whether the person will require oral antibiotics according to the monitoring.
