Viral Infection: A viral infection occurs when a virus enters the body and causes illness. Viruses have the potential to infect nearly any type of tissue, ranging from the brain to the skin, and the impact varies based on the virus type and the individual's health condition. Standard antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections; in fact, using antibacterial antibiotics can sometimes lead to side effects that worsen the situation. Most human viral infections can be successfully managed by the body's immune system, supported by good nutrition, adequate hydration, and sufficient rest. For infections that require further intervention, treatment is determined by the virus's type and location, potentially involving antiviral medications or other pharmaceutical options.
