Did you know that using antibiotics to treat Acute Respiratory Viral Infections (ARVI) might do more harm than good? ARVI is caused by viruses, and antibiotics, designed to fight bacteria, are ineffective against them.

Here's what happens when you self-prescribe antibiotics for a viral infection: Your liver, which should be focusing on clearing the virus, is instead overburdened with processing the antibiotic. This can prolong your illness, not shorten it.

✅ However, in certain cases where a viral infection leads to bacterial complications, antibiotics become essential. But remember, only a qualified therapist can make this call after a thorough examination to confirm a bacterial infection.
