Antibiotics, also known as antibacterial, are medications used to fight infections caused by bacteria. They treat infections by killing or decreasing the growth of bacteria. Before antibiotics, most deaths were caused by bacterial infections. Antibiotics are powerful, life-saving medications for people with certain serious infections. They can also prevent less-serious infections from becoming serious. Most antibiotics usually take 7 to 14 days to complete the cure. However, in some cases, shorter treatment duration can also work.
