India
May 27, 2017 4:25am CST
Hi to all Mylot friend's... In Ancient days...People are expert in natural remedies even for most dangerous disease.Because they got herbal plants easily in their surroundings. But Self Medication now a days is dangerous because it has many side effects.lf we use Pain killers without consultation may cause kidney failure. Also for Cough syrups, Homoeopathic remedies, Ayurvedic medicines...For these too should consult respective doctors. Will you give preference to Self Medication or Doctor?

If condition is not severe then self medication helps.. but if condition is serious then we must go to the hospital.

For most things I prefer doing it my way first. My roommate is an herbal specialist so I ask him for advice often. If it does not work I may think about the doctor next.

@manikarnika I try not to go to Doctors too often. he cost is high. But if I had infection and need antibiotics. that is one time I would have to go.

If it's cold or cough, like very minor issues ,then it's ok to follow home remedies, but if it's major then self medication is not preferable.

But for cold or cough some taking medicine without doctor prescription it has so many side effects

@manikarnika normally people won't take medicine for cold and cough , if it's severe then better to take doctor's advice.

I will try some herbal medicines in the beginning and in case it won't work then I consult a doctor and seek advises.

That's why sometimes its better to take herbal teas and do prevention than taking synthetic medicines.
