Question

Alina has cold and viral flu for the past 5 days. Her mother gave her antibiotics

but she is not recovering. What can be a likely reason for the same?
(a) Antibiotics are used against viral infections.
(b) Antibiotics are used against bacterial infections.
(c) Antibiotics take time to cure the infection.
(d) Antibiotics are to prevent infection rather than to cure them.

Answer 1

B, a common mistake! Antibiotics are used to fight against bacteria (biotics —> related to bio which means life, virus is non living!)

Answer 2

I think it's because antibiotics are used against bacterial infections,but from the question above it seems like Alina has a viral infection like stated a viral flu.

I hope this helps
