I noe whenever we go pay a visit to Doc. for sure the nurse will say, "this is antibiotics, complete whole course"
well, what u guys do? finish it up ?i heard someone told me it is not very good actually, like eat liao go fat or smth like immune system will be affected. But how true is that?just wondering...haahaa..hmm..i jus had my med..cough coug
Antibiotics work to kill bacteria.
are single-cell organisms. If bacteria make it past our
and start reproducing inside our bodies, they cause disease. We want to kill the bacteria to eliminate the disease.
Certain bacteria produce chemicals that damage or disable parts of our bodies. In an
infection, for example, bacteria have gotten into the inner ear. The body is working to fight the bacteria, but the immune system's natural processes produce inflammation. Inflammation in your ear is painful. So you take an antibiotic to kill the bacteria and eliminate the inflammation.
An antibiotic is a
selective poison
. It has been chosen so that it will kill the desired bacteria, but not the
in your body. Each different type of antibiotic affects different bacteria in different ways. For example, an antibiotic might inhibit a bacterium's ability to turn glucose into energy, or its ability to construct its cell wall. When this happens, the bacterium dies instead of reproducing. At the same time, the antibiotic acts only on the bacterium's cell-wall-building mechanism, not on a normal cell's. Antibiotics do not work on
because viruses are not alive. A bacterium is a living, reproducing lifeform. A virus is just a piece of
(or RNA). A virus injects its DNA into a living cell and has that cell reproduce more of the viral DNA. With a virus there is nothing to "kill," so antibiotics don't work on it. --

Answer:

I know if one never complete the antibiotics course, the virus will develop resistance towards the antibiotics the next time it strikes.

Answer:

yea.. what tucksoon said.. think of it this way, technically, theres no definite "amount" of virus in your body, doc prescribe you to finish whole course then confirm wipe out virus in most cases..if the virus nt wiped out, then they "learn" the antibiotic's "killing move" or so to speak, next time nt effective le..

Answer:

Hope You can get well soon

Answer:

antibiotics do nothing against a virus.
they are used against bacterial infections.
i dunno what they teach you guys in school.......

Answer:


Oops me bad. I guess I didn't pay attention then
