Do I need to take anti-inflammatory drugs when I have a fever, cold, or cough?

►Anti-inflammatory drugs are actually what we commonly call antibiotics.

☑It is a big misunderstanding to take antibiotics when you have a cold or fever, because colds are mostly caused by viral infections. Especially when fever symptoms are accompanied by muscle aches and eye pains, it is more likely to be a viral infection.

☑Viral infection is a self-limiting disease and does not require the use of antibiotics. The misuse of antibiotics will increase bacterial resistance.

☒ Antibiotics all have side effects. In short, anti-inflammatory drugs cannot be bought and taken casually at the pharmacy.
