No, they would not prescribe antibiotics for you because antibiotics kill bacteria, but viral infections such as the flu are hosted by viruses rather than bacteria.

Answer  

The doctor would not prescribe antibiotics to treat viral infections such as flu.

Usually, infections like flu are treated with bed rest and lots of fluid intakes.

It helps the immune system of the body to fight against a viral infection.

In addition, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines are suggested to take in case of pain and inflammations.

In some cases, antiviral drugs such as peramivir (Rapivab), oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza)

et cetera are prescribed for the treatment.

In contrast, antibiotics are mainly used to treat bacterial infections instead of viral infections.

Answer:

cline

Explanation:

  • When a measurable gradient is seen in a particular character across population living in a geographical range then this gradient is termed as cline.
  • The clines can either be abrupt or continuous across a given geographical range.
  • Clines arise due to two factors - gene flow as well as selection.
  • In a map the clines are represented by lines that indicate the changes in character from one end to another across a geographic range.
  • Therefore, the B blood group frequency changes in a map across eastern Asia and far western Europe form a pattern which is termed as a cline.

What does being away from the sun mean for revolution time in amount of time for seasons help pleasee
lord [1]
As the earth rotates, it stays away from the sun at certain times. That means in seasons like winter and fall, it’s more cold since the sun is farther away. In spring, the sun gets closer. This is why spring is warmer. Finally, for summer, the sun is at its closet point, making it hotter. Being at a certain distance from the sun allows the earth to be warm, cold, or hot. So being away from the sun makes the earth colder.
