Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotic treatment involves using medicines specifically designed to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause infections. When prescribed appropriately, antibiotics can help your body fight off bacterial illnesses like pneumonia or infections. However, they do not work against viruses, such as the common cold or flu. It's important to take antibiotics exactly as prescribed, completing the full course even if you start feeling better sooner, to ensure all bacteria are eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance. Proper use of antibiotics helps protect you and others from resistant bacteria and ensures these medicines remain effective.
