ANTIBIOTICS DO NOT TREAT THE COMMON COLD! 🤧💊

Still taking antibiotics whenever you catch a cold?

You might be using the wrong medicine for the wrong problem.

Most common colds are caused by viruses, while antibiotics are designed to treat bacterial infections.

💡 Before you take an antibiotic, ask: “Do I really need it?”
