Got a nasty cough this winter? 🤧 Wondering if you need antibiotics?

It’s the most common question we get at this time of year. But did you know that over 90% of common chest infections are caused by viruses?

Antibiotics do not work on viruses.

This is not about cost. It’s about making sure you get the right treatment for the right illness and protecting you from side effects.

In this essential video, Dr Ahmed explains:

- Why antibiotics aren't the answer for most coughs.

- The key differences between viral and bacterial infections.

- The important 'red flag' symptoms to watch for that mean you should contact us.

Knowledge is the best medicine. Watch to learn how to self-care safely at home and when to call.

Please share this video. Helping everyone understand this message is vital for our community's health.
