I don't see how you could sue a doctor for excessive use of antibiotics. I mean excessive use of antibiotics was pretty much the norm everywhere when I was a kid 20 years ago. I got prescribed dozens of long courses for sinusitis and later for acne. I reckon it's at least a real possibility it contributed to later triggering ME/CFS. Even a couple of years ago, I got prescribed several months of antibiotics for suspected mycoplasma infection from a respectable doctor. Again, it was probably not of much help, but these are difficult cases to judge. If the tests show positive, there is at least a case to be made for prescribing an antibiotic.
