when giving firm advice about what a person should or ought to
do, esp. to avoid some problem, unpleasantness, or danger. The
infinitive following this expression is used without «to».
e.g. You had better (You’d better) have a thorough examination —
Âàì áû ñëåäîâàëî (ëó÷øå) ïðîéòè òùàòåëüíûé îñìîòð.

But is used only after words like no, all, nobody, anywhere,
everything, any, etc. or after question-words like who, where,

But is usually followed by a noun or pronoun or the infinitive
