Antibiotic therapy

Antibiotic therapy involves using medications called antibiotics to treat infections caused by bacteria. These medicines work by killing bacteria or stopping their growth, helping the body's immune system eliminate the infection. It's important to take the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent bacteria from becoming resistant. Antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections and do not work against viruses like the common cold or flu. Proper use ensures the infection is fully cleared and helps prevent antibiotic resistance, which makes future infections harder to treat.
