What are antibiotics useful for?

Antibiotics are used to fight bad bacteria/infection, although they just attack all cells in the body both good and bad. It is important to take antibiotics as prescribed and to take the entire dose. If you do not take the whole prescription, the antibiotics will attack only the good cells and leave your body more susceptible to another infection or illness. You can also find probiotics and a prescription is not required for taking them. You can order them online.It is also important to note that antibiotics SHOULD NOT be used for colds or the flu (including H1N1). These illnesses are caused by viruses, which are not responsive to antibiotics. Taking antibiotics is useless when you have the cold/flu.
