Most colds and upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viral infections. In this case, there is nothing to do other than the well-known and proven symptomatic treatment. Using antibiotics unnecessarily in such a case is not only unhelpful, but actually harmful by increasing the risk of antibiotic resistance and destroying the natural flora in our bodies.
Bacterial overgrowth can also occur during viral infections. The sign of bacterial overgrowth can be prolonged infections or worsening symptoms after a few days (worsening fever, changes in the amount and colour of respiratory phlegm). In other cases, the disease is primarily caused by a bacterial infection. However, the distinction is not always obvious. Antibiotics are needed to overcome bacterial infections.
During the consultation, we investigate the cause and focus of the infection, and we prescribe antibiotics in case of bacterial infection. In some cases, we arrange blood tests and chest X-rays to support the decision, and then evaluate the results.
Call ambulance services (112) or go to the nearest emergency department in the following cases, when the underlying cause of the symptoms may indicate severe pneumonia, lack of oxygen, sepsis:

Emergency contraception is needed in the case of unprotected sex, incorrect use or failure of a contraception method. There are two options available. One option is to take an emergency contraceptive pill, and the other one is the insertion of an intrauterine device (e.g. an IUD) The emergency contraception pill can be prescribed at First Step Clinic, while an IUD requires a gynaecological examination.
There are two types of tablets available, one is to be used within 72 hours of intercourse and the other one is to be used within five days after the intercourse. As a general rule, the sooner the better. Taking the pill does not interrupt an already developed pregnancy. Nausea, vomiting and spotting may occur as side effects. If vomiting occurs within a few hours after taking the tablet, you can take a repeated dose. In case any signs of pregnancy – like altered menstrual cycle /irregular periods or late bleeding is detected after taking the tablet, a gynaecological specialist examination is recommended.
If the risk of getting pregnant after intercourse is high (due to irregular cycles, repeated unprotected intercourse, intercourse around ovulation (mid-cycle)), it is advisable to consult a gynaecologist to choose the most appropriate contraceptive method (intrauterine device/pill).
