Antibiotics are one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine, used to treat everything from minor infections to life-threatening illnesses. But despite how common they are, there’s still a lot of confusion about how they work, when we should take them, and what risks come with overuse. Antimicrobial resistance has been called one of the greatest public health threats by the World Health Organisation.
