The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has issued guidelines asking people not to use antibiotics for mild fever or illnesses like viral bronchitis. Also, doctors should keep in mind the time limit while prescribing these medicines. Antibiotics should be given for five days for skin and soft tissue infections, five days for community-acquired pneumonia, and eight days for hospital-acquired pneumonia, the ICMR said.
According to ICMR, the diagnostic test helps us to know about the pathogens that cause the symptoms of the disease. This will help in prescribing the right dose of antibiotic instead of blindly relying on fever, procalcitonin level, WBC count, culture, or radiology to diagnose the infection. ICMR has advised limiting empiric antibiotic therapy to critically ill patients.

Analysis of the data pointed to a continued increase in pathogens that underlie drug efficacy, and that this increase has resulted in the difficulty of treating some infections with available drugs.
