The problem did not appear overnight. Every time antibiotics are used unnecessarily, some bacteria survive and adapt. Over time, these ‘superbugs’ multiply and spread. This means infections that were once easy to treat may now require stronger drugs, longer hospital stays or, in some cases, may not respond to treatment at all. One of the biggest reasons behind antibiotic resistance is taking antibiotics when they are not needed. Antibiotics only work against bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like the common cold, most coughs or the flu. Yet many people still demand antibiotics for these conditions, believing they will recover faster. In reality, this misuse only gives bacteria more opportunities to evolve.
