  2. Antibiotics may also kill some useful bacteria present in our body which leads to gastric distress over a long period.
  3. Excess usage of antibiotics leads to the development of many side effects in the system like improper digestion or loss of appetite.
  4. These side effects may include respiratory issues, and skin disorders as well.
