From viral fevers to common colds, patients still demand antibiotics — but at what cost?
share your knowledge and lets break every aspect of this belief.
In my opinion, the belief that “antibiotics cure everything” is dangerous and outdated. Antibiotics only work against bacterial infections — not viral fevers, colds, or flu. Overusing them for the wrong illnesses fuels antibiotic resistance, making real bacterial infections harder to treat.
This misuse creates “superbugs” that no longer respond to medicines we’ve relied on for decades. It’s a global health crisis in the making. We need more awareness, better prescriptions, and responsible use to make sure antibiotics stay effective for future generations.

The belief that “antibiotics cure everything” drives misuse and overprescription, leading to antibiotic resistance—a major global health crisis. Resistant bacteria render common infections harder to treat, increasing mortality and healthcare costs. Public awareness, strict prescription guidelines, and responsible antibiotic use are crucial to combat this growing threat.
