Viral diseases are not treated by giving antibiotics because antibiotics are used against bacterial infections.

  • An antibiotic can be described as a antimicrobial medicine which inhibits the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics can also kill certain types of bacteria.
  • Antibiotics are not effective against viral diseases because they are designed to function against different bacteria.
  • Also, as the virus interacts with the host machinery for growth and development , certain antiviral drugs are designed to work against the virus enzymes.
