Digital Desk: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) advised doctors and medical practitioners across the country to avoid giving antibiotics for seasonal fever, cold, and cough as H3N2 virus cases continue to rise. The medical body made the announcement on all of its social media sites.
According to the notice issued by the IMA Standing Committee for Anti-Microbial Resistance, seasonal fever will last five to seven days. The fever goes away after three days, but the cough might last for up to three weeks, according to the notice.
It primarily affects those over the age of 50 and below 15 years, with people developing upper respiratory infections and fever, according to the notice, which adds that air pollution is one of the triggering factors. The medical body instructed doctors to provide simple symptomatic care with no need for antibiotics. It also urged individuals to begin taking antibiotics like azithromycin and amoxiclav without concern for dose or frequency but to stop once they felt better.
Individuals should stop taking antibiotics once they feel better since they cause resistance. Numerous other antibiotics are being misapplied for certain illnesses, leading to patient immunity. For example, 70% of diarrhoea cases are viral diagnoses, for which medicines are not required but are prescribed by doctors, according to the notification.
According to the notice, the most commonly abused antibiotics include amoxicillin, norfloxacin, oprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. They are used to treat diarrhoea and urinary tract infections. We have already seen widespread use of anthromycin and ivermectin during Covid and this too has led to resistance it is necessary to diagnose whether the infection is bacterial or not before prescribing antibiotics. It further advised people to practise self-control and regulation for the prevention of infection and avoid crowded places. The IMA advised in its notice to practise proper hand and respiratory cleanliness, as well as to be vaccinated.
