The only reason it helps is because there is an infection present i the infection causes pain the antibiotic clears the infection so without infection there is no pain.

Answer 2

No,

Antibiotic kills bacteria
Anti-inflammatory helps pain.

An antibiotic can't do ANYTHING to help your pain and you can't get any without a doctor's prescription. Penicillin is the first antibiotic discovered.

Anti-inflammatory medications are Aspirin, Motrin, Tylenol, Aleve... These are what the drug store sells to treat pain. There are stronger ones you can get with a prescription.

Antibiotics are useless against viruses like the cold or the flu.

Anti-inflammatory medication works by reducing the swelling at the sight of the injury, thus making it less painful. They also increase the blood flow to the region which takes away the toxins and wastes the body naturally produces; doing that will also relieve pain. There is another way that anti-inflammatory medications work, but scientists don’t understand it well enough for me to explain it. They only know that it happens.

Aspirin works in a different method, it crushes red blood cells so they can slip around an area of the body that is injured and suffering swelling. The aspirin keeps the blood flowing, which keeps the oxygen coming and takes the waste away. The problem is if you get cut your blood won’t clot as well if you are taking aspirin.

White blood cells act by surrounding the bacteria or virus cells and crushing them to death. Antibiotics are poisons that hurt bacteria, but not the human body. When antibiotics kills bacteria it doesn’t kill all of it, just most of it. If the surviving bacterium gets a chance to escape and breed then you can end up with a strain of bacteria that is immune to that antibiotic. That is a problem in medicine and it was caused by doctors giving patients sick with a virus an antibiotic so they will think they are taking medication to make themselves better. The power of the mind is mighty in medicine. There are some strains of very nasty bacteria like the flesh eating bacteria. If it becomes immune to commonly used antibiotics (and some strains are) then it becomes harder to treat it and it increases the chance that the bacteria can chew off a limb or kill you.

Chemotherapy uses poisons that kill the human and cancer. The hope is that the poison will kill the cancer before it kills the person with the cancer. That is why chemotherapy patients lose their hair, and feel so bad they are being slowly poisoned to death. But, if it kills the cancer and they survive then it is worth it.

Answer 3

Antibiotics would not be helpful for headaches, stomach-aches etc and should not be used for these ailments. Antibiotics are for infections only! I believe that you are using anti-inflammatory’s which would relieve pain and swelling. Cheers.

Answer 4

Dan S is correct. The only thing I would add is the advice that you stop taking anti-biotics routinely. You might find your self one day full of "super bugs" that are resistant to common antibiotics.
