What do antibiotics do for our body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fight bacteria: Antibiotics fight bacteria in our body by either directly killing them or stopping them from reproducing, allowing our immune systems a better chance to fight the infection. To kill as many bacteria as possible and avoid allowing drug-resistant bacteria to thrive, it’s important for a person to finish an entire antibiotic course -- even if he or she is feeling better.
