Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause colds, flu, or COVID-19. Antibiotics also are not needed for many sinus infections and some ear infections. When antibiotics aren’t needed, they won’t help you, and the side effects could still cause harm.

Detailed explanation-3: -They make you sick when they enter your cells, multiply, and then spread to other cells to repeat the process.
