Answer:

no:(

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, viruses cannot be cured using anything as they are nonliving cells. Antibiotics only works on living organisms. The virus takes on a "host" cell and infects it until it gets sick. The host cell then goes to other cells and starts infecting them. The only thing that can fight against viruses is your immunity, which develops some kind of resistance to viruses it has encountered before. hope this helps!

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

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. Vaccines are used to treat viruses.
