that's the type of thing that ends up causing you to get antibiotic resistent strains of bacterial infection, like mrsa and vre. depending on how long this went on it could cause you problems when you get older. your own immune system is the best defense but that is compromised as you become elderly then the sensitivity issue can crop up. they are much more cautious about repeatedly proscribing antibiotics. if you have a virus you don't get antibiotics at all and they go to the next strength up in them to wipe out a stubborn infection.
