How often do you take antibiotics now?

Probably until my first paper cut and infection after all the antibiotic starts to expire, it’s likely game over some time soon after.

As infrequently as possible. Maybe a year ago last time for a sinus infection I couldn’t clear on my own.

You are way overestimating how often antibiotics are needed. I’ve used them once in my life and it was only a precaution, probably not needed. People who get antibiotics for every little thing are largely responsible for their loss in effectiveness.

I don’t disagree with you. Antibiotic overuse is a real problem. I’ve had surgeries without needing antibiotics afterwards. I try very hard not to rely on antibiotics but have allergies and shitty sinuses. I had an on and off sinus infection I couldn’t clear for something like 9 months. Used every trick in the book and I’d think I’d finally cleared it all, but no.
Happy that you seem more healthy overall than me. Good fortune for you.
