Why is someone considered no longer contagious after a few days on antibiotics?
In: Biology
Someone is no longer contagious after the immune system has overwhelmed the bacterial infection, which antibiotics help to occur rapidly. That might be a few days after antibiotics start… or it might not happen, or it might have already happened and the antibiotics were unnecessary. There’s no magic time interval that always applies for every person, every infection, and every antibiotic.
