Did you know that approximately 90 percent of infections are due to viruses? Antibiotics could not even slow down the viruses or reduce the symptoms so, it is better not to take a pill of antibiotic unless your doctor prescribed it.

Our body instantly produces antibodies that could fight against the usual cause of an infection, the viruses. So, better take home remedies  or give medicines that could relieve the symptom of illness than instantly taking a pill of antibiotic without doctors prescription to relieve the symptoms of an infection like cough, colds and diarrhea.

So, better not take an antibiotic without doctor’s prescription. Home remedies and medicines to relieve symptoms is of great help (first aide) to lessen the symptoms of illness but it does not relieve the true illness. So, better consult your doctor if symptom persist.
