Introduction
Antibiotics are essential for treating bacterial infections, but selecting the right form—tablets, sprays, or creams—can be confusing. Here’s a simple guide to help you decide.
Types of Antibiotics
- Antibiotic Tablets: Best for internal infections like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or pneumonia. Examples include Amoxicillin and Azithromycin.
- Antibiotic Sprays: Ideal for localized issues like sinusitis or throat infections. Nasal sprays (e.g., antibiotic nasal spray) deliver medication directly to the affected area.
- Antibiotic Creams: Perfect for skin conditions like eczema or infected wounds. Neosporin is a popular example.
Safety Tips
- Always complete the full course of antibiotics to avoid resistance.
- Never use leftover antibiotics without consulting a doctor.
