When should you take anitbiotics?  When you have a bacterial infection. Frequently antibiotics are prescribed for the common cold. Why?  Because that is the only thing a doctor can give you that might give you some relief.

This is the case in many illnesses. For example, urinary tract infections are often treated with antibiotics but the infection quickly returns after taking them. This is because antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your intestines- the good bacteria and the bad bacteria. Once you kill it all it leaves a place for the bad bacteria to grow- causing dysbiosis or yeast.
