# From the previous post, What will happen if we consume antibiotics in a viral infection? The answer is Antibiotics do not work on viruses, such as those that cause colds, flu, bronchitis, or runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Antibiotics are only needed for treating certain infections caused by bacteria, but even some bacterial infections get better without antibiotics. If you take an antibiotic when you actually have a viral infection, the antibiotic attacks bacteria in your body. In our gut or stomach we have various types of bacteria that is beneficial for us. These are harmed by that antibiotic leaving us more vulnerable.
