As a teen, why can't I take antibiotics for a viral infection?

The vast majority of viruses do run their course and exit your body via the portholes most associated with blowing, sneezing, and coughing. Most antibiotics--when taken for viral infection--can actually have a negative effect. What happens is they kill off the good, commensal bacteria that keep the bad bacteria in check, so you actually end up more vulnerable to bacterial infection in the end.

While it may have some sort of placebo effect by making you feel better, it’s actually not helping you--and may even harm you, unless you get a bacterial infection on top of your viral one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
