@health.dose22: Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They either kill bacteria or stop their growth in the body. These drugs have saved millions of lives since the discovery of Penicillin in 1928. However, antibiotics do not work against viruses like the common cold or flu.
