Question 7 • {HS} Healthy Living [Semester Only]

Antiviral medications are a common treatment for __________.

Answer
A
influenza
B
bacterial pneumonia
C
strep throat
D
the common cold

Explanation

Antiviral medications work against viruses, and they are commonly used to treat influenza (the flu), especially for people at higher risk of complications. Bacterial pneumonia and strep throat are caused by bacteria and are treated with antibiotics, not antivirals. The common cold is viral, but antiviral medications are not a common treatment for it.
