💊 ANTIBIOTICS: KNOW WHEN AND HOW TO USE THEM! 💊
Every time you feel sick, do you reach for antibiotics? 😷
Wait! It might surprise you to know that not every infection needs antibiotics.
Antibiotics are powerful medicines — but they’re meant to treat bacterial infections only, not viruses like the common cold or flu. ❌
Overusing or misusing them can lead to something scary called Antibiotic Resistance — where bacteria become so strong that even the best medicines can’t kill them anymore! 🚫🦠
Here’s how to use antibiotics wisely:
✅ Take them only when prescribed by a qualified doctor
✅ Always complete your full dosage — don’t stop halfway!
✅ Never share or reuse leftover antibiotics
✅ Avoid self-medication
Remember, protecting antibiotics today means saving lives tomorrow. ❤️
Let’s build awareness together!
