Is taking antibiotics effective if one is down with common cold?
Not usually. Since colds are caused by viruses, taking an antibiotic at the first sign of a cold is useless and is an overuse of those drugs - which also leads to ineffectiveness of those drugs. People who have colds and/or flu can develop secondary infections which can be treated with antibiotics. But using antibiotics as a preventive is not considered responsible medicine when it comes to colds.
Why antibiotics should not be overuse a short report?
When they're actually used correctly, antibiotics can do an amazing job of clearing up the most lethal bacterial infections. And if you're sick enough to be hospitalized for an infectious illness like pneumonia, those antibiotics might even save your life. But like most drugs today, antibiotics are overused and over- prescribed-despite repeated pleas from infectious disease experts warning otherwise. Their crystal clear usage guidelines are often ignored by busy doctors eager to appease the many patients who show up demanding a quick fix for their colds and sore throats. One of the most serious problems with antibiotic overuse is that too many strains of bacteria are becoming resistant to the drugs.
