A member asked:
If you take antibiotics for a sore throat -- does that undermine your body's ability, need and likelihood to create the antibody?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it doesn't: The antibiotic attacks the microorganisms, the immune system still recognizes those microorganisms and defend your body by different mechanisms, forming antibodies is one of them, hope that answers your question in a nutshell
