When I was in Peru, they kind of prescribed antibiotics for everything. Persistent cold? Antibiotics. Like that.

Source: lived there with Peruvian partner for 18 months.

Same deal in Japan, every time my kid has a cold her mum takes her to the doctor and comes home with antibiotics. When I get a cold the first thing anyone asks is whether I went to the doctor yet. For what? “Medicine.”

I'm Jordanian and it's the same in Jordan; it feels like people take antibiotics like candy in Jordan
