Professor of Public Health and Consultant of Family and Society, Professor Tawfiq Ahmed Khojah, explained that one of the wrong behaviors that some may follow upon his illness (God forbid) the diagnosis via the Internet and the illusion that what is written is the correct diagnosis of his illness, as this matter may enter into wrong beliefs, many diseases may be common in some symptoms and this leads to great confusion in the individual and may result in consequences Especially when taking wrong medications. He told Al -Madinah that the diagnosis of diseases must have a specialist, as this helps to study the case, the accuracy of the diagnosis, and the correct medication.

Dr. Khoja believed that health content in all platforms and health sites is a matter of scientific gain, cultural enrichment and acquisition of health information, and whatever that information is correct and accurate, it does not indulge from going to the doctor and conducting the diagnosis and taking the treatment prescription, some diseases may be viral or bacterial infections that may require taking antibiotics that are only prescribed as a medical prescription, and eating it is important to overcome the problem Sickness, and the importance of this matter may increase when the patient is a child, as it must be presented to the specialist when he is exposed to any healthy symptom instead of diagnosing his illness via the internet and giving any medications from the home pharmacy.

Public Health Professor, Khoja, stressed that one of the wrong behaviors that some may pursue is to take some antibiotics that were previously prescribed and the rest was preserved in the home pharmacy once feeling the same previous symptoms that may have passed for months, and the disease may be different, but perhaps the symptoms may be similar, and this is what must be careful to avoid other problems that may occur (God forbid) in the absence of health awareness.
