The flu, or influenza, is primarily considered a systemic infection rather than a localized one. It affects the respiratory system and can cause widespread symptoms throughout the body, including fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. While the virus initially infects the respiratory tract, its effects can extend beyond this area, leading to complications in other organs. Therefore, it is not confined to a specific location in the body.

Is tonsillitis's a systemic infection or localized?

Tonsillitis is primarily considered a localized infection, as it specifically affects the tonsils in the throat. However, it can have systemic effects, such as fever and malaise, if the infection spreads or if the body responds to the localized infection. The causative agents are often viral or bacterial, and while the primary site of infection is localized, the body's overall response can lead to systemic symptoms.

Why do antibodies not work on flu?

Assuming the question is a typo for "Why do antibiotics not work on a flu?", the reason is quite simple. Influenza (Flu) is caused by a virus, not a bacteria or parasite. When you have an infection, and your doctor prescribes you antibiotics, they are working on a bacterial or parasitic infection, not a viral infection. Put quite simply, antibiotics are not effective whatsoever against viruses.
