The reason why people practice self medication

A problem/disease/sickness that will force us to visit the hospital or get us admitted there, May we not have it...

Aside from the prayer, we must also learn to protect ourselves by caring for ourselves and maintaining our bodies and health. Those who have a reason to be in the hospital know that drugs and treatment are so expensive and a common man can not afford the treatment of some ailment.

One of the reasons why people do self-medication is because they cannot afford hospital bills while experience makes some people self-medicate.

One of the most common sicknesses that we battle in Nigeria is Malaria and Typhoid... Malaria is due by mosquitoes while Typhoid is caused by bad water and contaminated food. I have treated both so many times in my new area.

The first time I got sick, I thought it was just the normal hot temperature and headache and I took paracetamol but when it didn't relieve me, I went to the pharmacy to get malaria drugs which were not prescribed to me by any professional, I just assume on my own that it was malaria that is causing those symptoms, I used those drugs for a while and the headache and hot temperature left only to start again few days later and I keep taking my self medicated drugs until it got worse and I was bedridden...

I had to call a nurse to come and treat me at home but the nurse acted like a quack too as she did not run a test on me before she hit me with a lot of drips and injections, looks like my village people came in the form of the nurse because how could a nurse complete all drips and injections for a patient within 3 hours... Is not that overdose? well, that was what she did and she charged me 20k Naira.

I felt better the next day and It looked like I was healing but after 3 days, the symptoms returned and I feared what was wrong with me, so I decided to run a test and the result showed that I was suffering from typhoid! so what the hell did that nurse do? probably she only gave me treatment for malaria.

I did not plan to waste any more money on drugs or nurses, so I called on @quduus1 to help me buy herbs from his area which he brought to me a few days later that was what I used and guess what? within 3 days of using the herbs, I felt so much better and that was how I cured the terrible illness with herbs that were not up to 1000 Naira.

Few months later, I had the same symptom and without wasting time, I called my sure plug again to help me bring the herbs now I have discovered a place where they sell herbs in my new area so Whenever I feel somehow or ill, I go there directly to get malaria and typhoid Herbs which cost me 200 Naira, by the time i drink this for 3 days, I will be fine! it is cheap and affordable unlike the 20k that one will pay to nurses.
