Guwahati's Self-Medication Trend Fuels Health Concerns

In a city called Guwahati, many people are starting to treat themselves when they feel sick.

Instead of going to a doctor, they use medicines they buy from a pharmacy or find information about online.

They think it's easier and cheaper.

But doctors are worried because this can be dangerous.

Different people's bodies work differently, and some medicines can hurt their kidneys or other important parts if not used correctly.

Doctors warn that even common pills for pain or stomach issues can cause big problems.

Sometimes, people get so sick from treating themselves that they need surgery.

It's like trying to fix a toy without knowing how it works – you might break it more.
