💊 How do medicines work?

Medicines are like tiny helpers inside your body! 🦸‍♂️ When you're sick, they fight the bad germs or fix what's not working right. Some medicines are like warriors that beat the germs, while others help your body feel better by reducing pain or fever.

For example, when you have a fever, a medicine can tell your body to cool down. It's like magic, but it's science! 🌟

Medicines work in different ways to help your body. 💊 Some attack germs like bacteria or viruses, just like soldiers defending a castle! Others help your body’s own defenses work better.

For example, antibiotics kill bacteria, while painkillers block pain signals to your brain. Some medicines even replace missing things in your body, like insulin for diabetes.

Doctors choose the right medicine based on what’s making you sick. Always take medicine as prescribed—too much can be harmful!

Medicines interact with your body’s chemistry to treat illnesses or symptoms. 🧪 They work in several ways:

• Killing germs: Antibiotics target bacteria without harming human cells.
• Blocking signals: Painkillers stop pain messages from reaching the brain.
• Replacing substances: Like insulin for diabetes.
• Boosting defenses: Vaccines train your immune system to fight diseases.

Medicines are carefully designed to act on specific parts of the body. For example, asthma inhalers deliver medicine straight to the lungs. Always use medicines as directed—misuse can cause side effects or resistance!
