Antibiotics fight bacteria which cause following: - Strep throat - Urinary tract infections - Most ear infections - Some sinus infections

Antibiotics can't kill viruses. Don' t take them when you have: - Cold - Flu - Sore throat - Minor cough

Fine Print: - Don't stop taking antibiotics if you are feeling better. If you stop taking the antibiotic early, the surviving bacteria may restart an infection. - Don't save antibiotics for later use or share them. Using a part of a prescription could allow bacteria to survive and re-infect you. - Don't go to a doctor expecting or demanding antibiotics. Many times, it's best to take medicine to alleviate symptoms and allow the body's immune system to fight an infection. Source: CDC. If you have any questions, contact your doctor.
