Antibiotics
Say: an-ty-by-ah-tiks
These awesome medicines
attack bacteria
that make you sick. (They work only against bacteria, though, so they aren't used
for illnesses caused by a virus, like a cold.)
Want to hear something weird? Some antibiotics are made from fuzzy mold (penicillin
comes from orange mold)! So if you have strep
throat or some other infection caused by bacteria, don't worry, because antibiotics
can help you feel better!
