Recently this happened with a boy in our office, he is very intelligent and he has good knowledge of medicines and he also advises people but when it came to his treatment, he probably did not pay attention to all these things and due to this he had to face a lot of problems. He is my office co-worker, he consulted the doctor a few years back and the doctor recommended medicines according to his illness, maybe he had also been cured but he continued taking those medicines and after that, he did not go to consult the doctor, I don't know why, whatever the reason was, we got an idea of this only a few weeks back and it happened because he was continuously consuming the same medication even though he had been cured, I don't know why, maybe he had become habituated to all this, whatever the reason may be.

Above all, he was taking the same medicines continuously for one and a half years without making any changes in them due to which he started having a lot of problems in his body what happened was that his white blood cells increased which were less earlier and this is also harmful because our body is very complex and it is very important to have balance in the quantity of everything here if something goes up or down then it causes some problem in our body and due to which we have to face problems.

Due to taking the same medicines for about one and a half years, his disease was cured but he got another type of disease and this proved to be very life-threatening for him believe me if he had delayed for a few more days then he might have lost his life. So, from this incident, we get the advice that we should not take medicines without doctor's advice for a long time and we should check ourselves from time to time to see if we are healthy or not. It is necessary to be a little concerned but if we do something more than necessary, then that is also harmful, so it is necessary to maintain a balance in everything. If you are taking any medicines, then you must go to the doctor from time to time and get tested.

If the doctor feels that you are experiencing some difference, then maybe he will change your medicine or you can do something else or it all depends on the doctor what he does. But if you are taking any kind of medication, then you must consult the doctor from time to time. You should not try to become a doctor yourself from time to time. Even if you have a lot of knowledge, you should still go to a specialist who can help you better.
