what are antibiotics

Antibiotics either kill bacteria or stop them to multiply.they directly interact with bacteria to kill them or arrest their further growth.Don,t be afraid to take antibiotics if your doctor thinks it is needed . Unnecessary use of antibiotics.plus incomplete doses  may lead to antibiotics resistance,how,and what happened is that bacteria adopt another form and then the same antibiotics become in effective.when a sick person starts taking antibiotics and the bacteria start to regress ,the patient improves and discontinue the use of antibiotics in 2 to 3 days.the result is either the disease returns back in a few days and the resistance of bacteria to same antibiotics increase.This is the reason Typhoid has become resistant to many antibiotics in Pakistan where this is common practice to use antibiotics for any fever and to discontinue whenever a person feels well.

Constipation in children

 بچوں میں قبض کا مسئلہ.... ......... قبض کا مسئلہ آجکل بچوں میں بہت عام ہو گیا ہے. اسکی سب سے بڑی وجہ غیر معیاری خوراک ہے. خالص گندم کی بجائے ریفائنڈ آٹے کا استعمال، میدے سے بنے نان، کلچے، برگر، شوارما، پیزا، سینڈوچ اور تمام بیکری پراڈکٹس اور دیگر جنک فوڈز کا "انے وا" استعمال، پھلوں سے دوری اور سبزیوں سے الرجی اور دالوں سے کراہت... یہ ہیں ہمارے ننھے شاہین جو گِدھوں( "گ" پر زبر بھی پڑھ سکتے ہیں) والی خوراک پر پل رہے ہیں. اسکے علاوہ ورزش اور آؤٹ ڈور گیمز کی بجائے ٹی وی، کمپیوٹر اور موبائل وغیرہ کے آگے بیٹھے رہنا، سٹریس والی زندگی، سونے جاگنے کی غیر انسانی (الّوؤں والی) روٹین، پانی کا کم استعمال.... یہ سب قبض کی اہم ترین وجوہات ہیں. لہٰذا اگر آپ واقعی بچے کی قبض کے علاج کیلئے سنجیدہ ہیں تو سب سے پہلے ان وجوہات کا خاتمہ کریں. بصورتِ دیگر آپ جتنی چاہیں ادویات استعمال کر لیں، بچے دردناک پاخانے کے ڈر سے سہمے بیٹھے، کسمساتے ہی رہیں گے...!!! مختلف عمروں میں قبض کی وجوہات، علامات اور علاج مختلف ہوتا ہے. آئیے انہیں 3 گروپس میں تقسیم کر کے باری باری دیکھتے ہیں: 1. پیدائش سے 6 م...
