Question:
Are colds and flus cured by antibiotics?
Answer:
No. Antibiotics will fight bacterial infections but do not treat viral infections like colds and the flu. The overuse of antibiotics has contributed to the rise in drug-resistant bacterial infections. Do not pressure your health care provider into prescribing them when they are not needed.
