It’s U.S. #AntibioticAwarenessWeek! 💊
••
Antibiotics can save lives and are critical tools for treating infections. On the contrary, when antibiotics aren’t needed, they won’t help you, and their side effects could cause harm.
••
Ask your health care provider about the best way to feel better while your body fights off a virus.
