It's admittedly a puzzling question. The rampant antibiotics viral infection myths out there are so bizarre that just popping them willy-nilly has become a fad.
Have you ever felt like a glorified petri dish, sniffling and coughing through a cold, wishing for a miracle to slay that virus, like Sylvestre Stallone in a Rambo movie? That's where you might've heard the term "antibiotics" thrown around quite a lot. It's a potent weapon in the fight against infection as a whole. But hold your horses (or tissues, as the case may be now) – antibiotics are like calling in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for a shoplifter. They are very impressive and that's exactly the reason they aren't quite fit to fight a virus.
But why don't these germ fighters not work on this one thing? Kofuku is here to be your very own Bill Nye and maybe along the way, you'll deduce just why antibiotics are ineffective for viral infections.
