Antibiotics are medications that treat infections caused by bacteria. They work by killing the bacteria or stopping it from multiplying. There are many different types of antibiotics, and each one works best against certain types of bacteria.
Some common infections that can be treated with antibiotics include:
Ear infection
Sinus infection
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Antibiotics should not be taken lightly though – they can have serious side effects if not taken correctly or if the person taking them has an underlying health condition like diabetes or kidney disease. It’s important to always take antibiotic prescriptions as directed by your doctor and to never share medication with others.
