Can antibiotics treat viral infections?

KDAH

Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. Understanding this crucial fact can help prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics for common viral infections like cough, cold, and flu. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics contribute to the global challenge of antibiotic resistance making infections harder to treat. Use antibiotics responsibly to preserve their effectiveness and combat the rise of resistant bacteria. #AntibioticsAwarenessWeek
