Infectious diseases and Antibiotics
Infectious diseases are those that are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections. However, not all infectious diseases can be treated with antibiotics.
Explanation
The correct answer is option 'D' - Common cold. The common cold is a viral infection that affects the upper respiratory tract. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. They only work against bacteria. Therefore, antibiotics are not used to treat the common cold.
Antibiotics should only be used to treat bacterial infections. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria mutate and become resistant to the antibiotics that were once effective against them. This can lead to the emergence of superbugs, which are bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics.
Conclusion
In conclusion, antibiotics are not effective against viral infections such as the common cold. Therefore, it is important to use antibiotics only when they are needed and prescribed by a doctor. The misuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance, which can have serious consequences for public health.
