Google-Diagnosis Danger: Self-Medication & Antibiotic Misuse Fueling Superbugs

• Reliance on Google for self-diagnosis is increasing, leading to serious health risks.
• Taking medication without proper diagnosis can suppress symptoms but not cure the illness, often causing adverse effects.
• Misuse of antibiotics, driven by self-medication, is creating 'superbugs' resistant to treatment.
• Easy availability of medicines without prescription exacerbates the problem of self-medication.
• Doctors advise consulting a professional for any illness, as self-treatment based on internet searches can worsen conditions and lead to expensive hospitalizations.
