Important Considerations

  • Antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used for viral infections, as misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance.
  • Vaccination is a critical prevention strategy for many bacterial and viral diseases.
  • Always consult healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for any infectious disease.
