So my warning here is YOU MAY DO MORE HARM to yourself or your family using fish antibiotics in emergency situations.
Good advice.
My ex would take my daughter to the clinic for every little sniffle and demand antibiotics. They always prescribed them whether needed or not. To this day I think this is still the methodology for a lot of clinicians. I have yet to have a doctor wait for tests to come back before prescribing an antibiotic (I think I have had them less than a half-dozen times in my 6+ decades).
My intention is to have the antibiotics on hand and take them on advice of a medical professional - if possible. I do have a doctor (albeit an eye doctor) as a neighbor. Otherwise I would only use them where it seems clear they are needed.
In some SHTF situations, antibiotics may not be available - there may be a shortage or none available at all. So having them on hand and not needing them is better than needing them and not having them.
