  1. Vinita might say, “Saniya, do you know that antibiotics work only on bacteria, not viruses? So they can’t cure flu, cold or COVID-19.” She can also ask, “What happens if we take antibiotics for the wrong illness?” and “Have you heard of antibiotic resistance?” These questions can help Saniya think and realize that antibiotics are not a cure-all and must be used carefully to avoid harmful effects.
