Get Smart: Know when antibiotics work
Antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses, like colds, flu, most sore throats and bronchitis, and some ear infections. Rest, fluids, and over-the-counter products may be your or your child's best treatment option.
Dangers of Antibiotic Resistance
If antibiotics are used too often for things they can not treat—like colds, fiu, or other viral infections—they can stop working effectively against bacteria when you or your child really needs them.
Widespread overuse of antibiotics is fuelling an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So the next time you or your child really needs an antibiotic for a bacterial infection, it may not work.
Antibiotics won't work in cold or flu
Colds and fiu are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Taking antibiotics when you or your child has a virus may do more harm than good. Get smart about when antibiotics are appropriate—to fight bacterial infections. Taking them
for viral infections, such as a cold, most sore throats, the flu, or acute bronchitis:
•Will not cure the infection;
•Will not keep other people from gettingsick;
•Will not help you or your child feel better; and
•May cause unnecessary and harmful side effects.
What not to do
•Do not take an antibiotic for a viral infection like a cold or most sore throats.
•Do not take antibiotics prescribed for someone else. The antibiotic may not be
appropriate for your or your child’s illness. Taking the wrong medicine may delay correct treatment and allow bacteria to multiply.
If an antibiotic is prescribed:
•Do not skip doses.
•Do not save any of the antibiotics for the next time you or your child gets sick. What to do
Adults and kids should clean their hands often, especially before meals and after touch ing pets. And make sure both you and your child are up-to-date on recommended immu-
nisations.
Talk with your healthcare provider about the best treatment for your or your child's illness. To feel better when you or your child has an upper respiratory infection:
•Increase fluid intake;
•Get plenty of rest;
•Use a cool-mist vaporiser or saline nasal spray to relieve congestion; and
•Soothe a throat with ice chips, sore throat spray, or lozenges (do not give lozenges to young children)
