Infections are treated in different ways depending on their cause—whether bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic. For example, bacterial infections are usually managed with antibiotics, while parasitic infections may require special medicines such as niclosamide tablets, which are effective against certain intestinal worms. Treatment aims to eliminate the cause of infection, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications. Early diagnosis and proper medical guidance are essential to ensure recovery and avoid resistance or recurrence.

Doctors may prescribe medications, therapies, or supportive care depending on the infection type. For instance, viral infections might be treated with antiviral drugs, rest, and hydration, while fungal infections often require antifungal creams or oral medicines. Along with prescribed treatments, lifestyle adjustments and preventive measures help strengthen immunity and speed up healing. Proper hygiene, nutrition, and hydration are also important parts of treatment.

Some common approaches to infection treatment include:

• Antibiotics for bacterial infections like pneumonia or urinary tract infections

• Antivirals for conditions such as influenza or herpes

• Antifungals for infections like ringworm or thrush

• Antiparasitic medicines for worm or protozoan infections

• Supportive care such as fluids, rest, and pain relief
