Hello to all hive users🤗❤️🙏
Hope you all are healthy & doing great in your life
We fall sick many times in our life and if we look at it, we fight minor diseases many times a year. If I talk about those people who react to any disease, then as far as my observation is concerned, we come across three types of people. First of all, there are people who consult a good doctor in a hospital for the treatment of their disease, his report tells them and then he gives them some normal medicines and they get cured. The second type of people are those who wait for a few days when they get any disease thinking that maybe this disease will get cured but it does not happen, then they go to a chemist shop and tell their problem to the pharmacist sitting there and that pharmacist gives them medicine based on his experience. Then comes the third type of people who think of treating these diseases on their own. In this post, we are going to talk about these types of people who treat the disease with self-medication.

I am telling you this on the basis of my old experience. This incident must have happened about 8 years ago. At that time I used to work in another city and lived in a house there. There was a family on the second floor of the house. There were six people in the family, including three children, their parents and their grandmother. It so happened that for some days, the eldest of the three children was not feeling like eating food for many days, so he talked to his family about this and told them the symptoms that he was not feeling hungry and felt like vomiting on seeing food and he was also feeling very weak. Now, the symptoms here are generally of jaundice and his family members also felt that he had jaundice. The grandmother of those children also felt the same because she had lived in a remote village for a very long time and she also had experience of this thing, so she was hundred percent sure that he had jaundice. Then they started treating him for jaundice without consulting any doctor and without any liver test. In the state where I lived, people used to try many types of home remedies for jaundice and many people were cured with the help of this treatment. His family also did the same and started using home remedies and they continued the home remedies for more than three weeks but instead of getting better, his child's health started getting worse. The quantity of food he used to eat reduced to almost one-fourth. His family could not understand what had happened and only then did they go to a hospital for examination.
When they got him examined in the hospital, they talked to the child and listened to all his symptoms and all his problems very seriously and then after listening to all this, when many types of tests were done, it was found that the child's lungs were filled with water which we call pleural effusion in medical language. The doctor also got very angry because if he was getting the treatment done after 1 month, then perhaps the child could have caught some serious disease which could have cured him here. The doctor also told them that if you delay it for 1 more month then the child's lungs would stop working, then you people can imagine what can happen if a person's lungs stop working.
This incident made me realize that self medication can be so harmful, so if a person feels that he has a serious disease, he should immediately get it checked by a doctor in the hospital because by taking the medicine, many of our doubts are cleared and our medication starts according to whatever is found in the test. Even today I see many such people who take even a more serious disease than normal lightly and even after all this, they only bring medicine for themselves from the chemist shop. Those people do not understand that the job of a chemist is to give medicine, he cannot give medicine without examining you and even if he is giving you medicine, he is giving you medicine only on the basis of his experience while he does not check the symptoms occurring in your body.
In the end, I would just like to say that one should always take care of his health and the worst thing for our health is these diseases and to fight these diseases, we should make every possible effort and the best treatment should be done.
Thanks for reading till the end
