🤧 Got a cold or fever? Don’t assume you need antibiotics!
💊 Antibiotics fight bacteria — not viruses.
Bacteria are living cells with structures that antibiotics can target. Viruses are different: they enter our cells and use the host cell’s machinery to multiply.
That’s why antibiotics don’t cure common viral infections like the common cold or influenza.
⚠️ Taking antibiotics when they aren’t needed can also contribute to antibiotic resistance.
🧠 Remember: Your medicine should match the enemy.
