Self-medication, especially for minor issues, might seem convenient, but as you pointed out, it can become dangerous when taken too far. Your example about the woman with high blood pressure really highlights the risks medications affect individuals differently, and what works for one person may be harmful to another.
It’s great that you discourage your mother from self-medicating; having a strong immune system is a blessing, but for those who do need treatment, consulting a doctor is always the safest choice. Health should never be taken lightly, and avoiding unnecessary risks can prevent serious consequences. Thank you for sharing this important message.
