There is no doubt that most people with such kind of injury will search for a qualified help. But this artwork is intended for clarification of the bigger problem. A lot of people are avoiding doctors with simple respiratory diseases. The neighbour once said that antibiotic X helped her with that. Ok, great! I’ll get it as well! But have you ever thought that most common consequences of self-treatment are allergic reactions (84.3%), angioedema (21.5%), anaphylaxis (5.2%), damage to central nervous system (4.2%) and digestive system (3.1%).  And the most significant side effect is antibiotic resistance.
This problem causes 700 000 deaths every year.
Due to pandemics the sales of antibiotics on the market have grown tremendously.
