Frequent use of antibiotics:
The use of antibiotics is essentially against bacterial infections of various kinds such as tonsillitis, bronchitis, ear infection, infections of skin, chest, urinary organs, etc. In certain cases of severe bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Pyelonephritis, Meningitis, etc, antibiotics play a vital role and they cannot be ignored.
However, there are many milder infections and recurring infections, which could be better treated using homeopathic medicines. Especially in the cases of Recurring and Chronic bacterial infections, homeopathy has been found to be effective by not only treating those episodes of infections but also by reducing the need for antibiotics. Homeopathic medicines are known to reduce the frequency of recurring infections in many conditions. Some examples can be cited here:
-

Use of antibiotics for Cold, Coryza is avoidable
Oftentimes in India, many doctors are known to use antibiotics for viral infections such as colds and coughs, under the pretext of avoiding secondary infection. Such a use (actually, an abuse) of antibiotics is detrimental as it could potentially lead to antibiotic resistance. Homeopathy is found to work effectively for such conditions whereby antibiotics could be avoided.
