If a doctor prescribes antibiotics to a patient, it typically indicates that the patient has a bacterial infection. Antibiotics are specifically designed to target and kill bacteria, making them ineffective against viral infections. Conditions like bacterial pneumonia, strep throat, or urinary tract infections are common reasons for antibiotic prescriptions. In contrast, viral infections, such as the flu or a common cold, do not respond to antibiotics.
