We heard Zika virus already found in Singapore and more cases to be identified.
Can we use antibiotics to treat viruses infections?
Antibiotic only effective for bacteria infection. However, overuse and misuse of antibiotics will cause SUPERBUGS.

Below are the differences between Virus and Bacteria
Viruses are constantly changing and mutating. Some viruses can stay dormant inside host cells for long periods of time, causing no visible changes until they are stimulated or once immune system gets weaker. click the link to know more on how immune system is functioning https://nifoodstore.blogspot.my/2016/05/immune-system.html
eg Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox.
When people are first infected with the varicella-zoster virus, usually as children, they get chickenpox. Years or decades later, the virus can reactivate and cause shingles. Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk of shingles.
About 20% of cancers are linked to viruses and about 80% of these cancers are of the cervix and liver.
Cancer is a disease of genetic change. Some viruses cause cancer by mutating the genome of the host cell. These mutations cause an uncontrolled replication of host cells, leading ultimately to the formation of malignant tumors.
Examples include the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which is a member of the herpes family and linked to Burkitt's lymphoma tumors;
hepatitis B virus linked to hepatocellular carcinoma;
human immune deficiency virus (HIV) linked to Kaposi's sarcoma; and
human papillomaviruses linked to genital and cervical cancers.
Is Vaccines Effective To Do Prevention?
When a bacteria or virus enters our body, our immune system responds by producing antibodies, which eventually leads to the invader's destruction.
Once immune response has a memory that can last a lifetime and this protects us from subsequent infections by the same bacteria or virus. Vaccinations are based upon this theory. Vaccines are usually made using dead or weakened bacteria or viruses to trick our immune system into producing antibodies against them. Common vaccines include those for polio, tetanus, chicken pox and influenza.
However, viruses mutate quickly making vaccine development a challenge for scientists. This is why flu vaccines must be taken yearly to protect against new virus strains. Vaccines are generally safe, however there are concerns that some vaccines may cause chronic diseases such as insulin dependent diabetes, autoimmune illnesses and allergies.
