There's a similar problem here in the UK as well. Too many people ask their doctor for antibiotics when they have something that antibiotics won't help, and too many doctors prescribe them unnecessarily. Your doctor and your own attitude sound the right ones to me.
We're always told that you must complete a course of antibiotics if prescribed and that you mustn't save them and self medicate in the future. It seems common sense, but I know people (including family members) who do keep hold of untaken antibiotics and prescribe them to themselves!
A colleague at work brought some Kenyan instant coffee back from a trip there. I'm trying a cup of that - it's not bad.
