This Week is Antimicrobial
Resistance Awareness week. ❌💊❌
Remember:
- Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and have no effect on Colds, the Flu and Sore Throats 🤧
- Trust your medical professional if they say antibiotics are not necessary 👩🏽‍⚕️
- Overusing antibiotics in the present means as resistance grows, antibiotics become less effective, making infections more difficult to treat and potentially leading to severe illness, disease spread, and death
