Are antibiotics pain killers?
NO. They are antibiotics. anti = against; and bio = life. Therefore antibiotics kill bacteria etc. (Indirectly, antibiotics may contribute to pain relief if the pain is caused by the types of infection resulting from those germs which antibiotics kill. However, antibiotics should never be taken as a direct painkiller. Rather, one should take them to fight germs when one has become infected; but only after ascertaining that antibiotics are needed and will help. A doctor should be consulted. Taking antibiotics for too long, or when not needed, can have unwanted consequences.)

Yes. Antibiotics should be taken only when prescribed by a physician to fight off infections your body cannot fight on its own.

If antibiotics fight off infection all the time, then your body won't produce its own natural antibodies. c) Constant use of antibiotics can create an allergy to the antibiotic, making it useless to you should you need it later. This is common with penicillin.
