Have you ever taken anything without a doctor's prescription? If so, what and in what situations?

I last took antibiotics about 15 years ago for sinusitis.

Sinusitis, amoxicillin. For kidneys - ofloxacin

I'm looking at the test results, but I don't take anything the doctor prescribes without further examination.

took it when I had tonsillitis.

Not without a doctor, you need tests to know for sure

There's a specific antibiotic for each symptom, there are many, and they work against specific bacteria. It's best to discuss them with a knowledgeable doctor. And it's also a good idea to get a sensitivity test done, as some might just not be suitable/won't be effective.

I'm always taking care of myself and treating my kids myself too.

No. I'm not a doctor to decide which antibiotic to take for what. Especially not for kids.

I took it myself once, but never gave it to my kids.

no, never
