With viral colds, antibiotics not only will not cure, but can also harm. Writes about it “Why does it hurt”.
Antibiotics are aimed at combating bacterial flora. They are used for bronchitis, tracheitis and pneumonia. However, about 90% of colds that are accompanied by a cough are provoked by viruses.
“Taking antibiotics “just in case” may not help you, but harm you. With a viral infection, the drug does not help, it can even delay the course of the infection, ”the therapist Yana Belousova warned.
The doctor stressed that self-administration of drugs, if they are chosen incorrectly or with the wrong dosage, can lead to complications. For a cold, antibiotics are prescribed if it drags on for seven days or more.
When coughing, it is most often recommended:
penicillin; macrolides; of cephalosporins.
“It is important to drink the full course of treatment without interrupting, even if you think that you are healthy, otherwise there is a risk of getting a chronic infection. The harmful microorganism will survive and become immune to the antibiotic,” Belousova said.
