Question

why antibiotics are not used in treatment of diseases caused by virus??


please explain in proper manner​

Answer 1

Answer:

Antibiotics are applied

Explanation:

Antibiotics cannot kill viruses because bacteria and viruses have different mechanisms and machinery to survive and replicate. The antibiotic has no “target” to attack in a virus. However, antiviral medications and vaccines are specific for viruses

Answer 2

Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses. You'll get better when the viral infection has run its course. Common illnesses caused by bacteria are urinary tract infections, strep throat, and some pneumonia.New research led by scientists from the Francis Crick Institute in London is suggesting not only are antibiotics ineffective for individuals suffering from influenza, but they can actually worsen the initial viral infection. The first line of defense against a flu infection is in our lungs.Taking too many antibiotic drugs can cause your body to develop a resistance to the drugs. Why do antibiotic drugs not work against viruses? Antibiotic drugs attack the parts of bacteria that viruses do not have, such as a cell wall. Since viruses do not have a cell wall, the antibiotic cannot affect it.The drugs used for viral infection are Acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex) are effective against herpesvirus, including herpes zoster and herpes genitalis. Drugs used for treatment for viral fever are Acetaminophen(Tylenolothers)ibuprofen (Advil,motrin IB others).
