Key messages
Self-medicating with antibiotics for viral infections like the flu or a cold is a harmful behavior that can contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections — they do not relieve pain or reduce fever.

Antibiotics should always be used under medical or veterinary prescription.
