●Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infections. 

*They are not effective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu.

* Antibiotics do not kill fungi - they kill other types of germs (called bacteria). 

*In fact, you are more prone to getting a fungal infection if you take antibiotics.
