Question

Antibiotics don't work on viruses. Then if a person is suffering from a very high fever because of dengue. But is not known with the fact that he is suffering from dengue. And if he takes antibiotics to cure his fever ,then how does his fever gets cure if the antibiotics don't work on viruses.

Answer 1

For reducing fever,antibiotics are not taken.We take paracetamol which is not an antibiotic.
Antibiotics are chemicals that we extract from one microbe and harmful for the gwoth of other microbes.
So only those which are extracted from a microbe and used as medicine are called antibiotics.
Antibiotics control only bacterial diseases by stopping a vital process going on thier body.
Since viruses do not have any vital processes going on in their body,destroying viruses by antibiotics is impossible.
Only symptoms are treated in viral diseases.Our body immune system wil only control viruses as such.
