15 things i have learnt so far this year about life:
1. Having a humble beginning doesn’t guarantee you being humble. 2. There are things you should keep out of social media. 3. Everyone is facing their unique life battle. 4. Drinking enough water can’t be overemphasized.
5. Sometimes, you only lose when you fight back. 6. Life is too short, when you can, treat yourself. 7. Sometimes, just observe things and smile, don’t engage.
8. No matter the motivational speakers or motivational books you read, if you don’t have capital to start up something, you will remain poor. 9. Everybody has a price 10. Sometimes, all you need in this life is one good friend.
11. The friends you make today and keep are what your children will grow up tomorrow to refer to as “connection”.
12. If love comes your way, embrace it, in one way or the other people will hurt you or make you feel some type of way, find those that are worth feeling that type of way for. We are imperfect and it comes with it own beauty.
13. Life is like a dice game, in a day you can blow it. Never never ever give up. 14. No matter what you do or say, people must talk, BE YOU, DO WHAT’S RIGHT, once your conscience is clear, damn what others say.
15. Helping others will favor you in ways you currently do not know.

The use of Lincosamides (Lincomycin, Clindamycin) can cause what is known as “pseudomembranous colitis”.
Pseudomembranous colitis also called “antibiotic-associated colitis” is the inflammation of the colon associated with an overgrowth of the bacterium Clostridioides difficile-
-this usually results due the use of antibiotics, While almost any antibiotic can cause pseudomembranous colitis, some antibiotics are more commonly linked to pseudomembranous colitis than others, like the Lincosamides.
This condition results as a result of the antibiotic upsetting the colon’s normal flora balance, creating room for harmful bacteria to grow rapidly and produce high amounts of toxins which can damage the colon.
This infection is a common cause of diarrhea after antibiotic use.

Most cold medicines have drowsiness as their side effects. You are not to operate machinery or drive while on it.
Folic acid favors the growth of malaria parasite so taking it with malaria drugs is just one counteractive activity as there will be recrudescence.
