One medical store owner is giving antibiotics to his customer who is suffering front
fever without a doctor's prescription? But the customer's daughter Malathi is telling
her father not to take antibiotics without doctor's prescription. Whom do you support
and why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The customer's daughter is correct as antibiotics are used for diseases concerning bacteria while a fever could be caused by bacteria or virus. If the fever is viral, the antibiotics will have no effect. This is why a doctor's prescription is necessary to identify whether the fever is bacterial or viral to determine the medicine to be used to treat it.
