Ranger Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 It seems the easy availibility of just about any medications over the counter here in Thailand is both a blessing and a curse. The gal I am hanging with and I both have a cold/sore throat. She goes to the pharmacy and brings back 2 different anti-biotics that the pharmacist said we should take twice a day for a week. I took great pains in explaining to her that we didn't need anti-biotics for a common cold and gave her some Actifed and throat losenges instead. I'll bet she takes the damn pills anyway .

wonderlust Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 This is of course the way antibiotic resistant diseases spread. I wonder how long before we start seeing azithromycin resistant gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekka Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yeah I have never figured out why YA (Paracetomol usually) makes Thai girls so sleepy and not the rest of the world. Must be a Genes thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I'll bet she takes the damn pills anyway Of course, she did take the pills behind my back and of course, she got better. Amazingly, I also got better without taking the antibiotics. I tried explaining it to her at least a dozen times, but I'm sure the next time she gets a cold, she'll take them again .

Must be a Genes thing well, if she is in pain, the Paracetamol reduces it and makes it easy to sleep ( especially if diffiult to get a good sleep while in pain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
