Treatment and Prevention of Microbial Infections

Treating microbial infections typically involves antibiotics for bacteria and antivirals for viruses, which help eliminate the pathogens. It's important to complete prescribed medication to prevent resistance. Prevention includes good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, vaccinations, staying home when sick, and using barriers, like condoms, to limit transmission. Avoiding close contact with sick individuals can also reduce risk. Maintaining a strong immune system through a balanced diet, exercise, and sufficient sleep supports overall health and helps the body fight infections effectively.
