Can antibiotics work against HMPV virus?

Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections like human metapneumovirus (HMPV). HMPV affects the respiratory system, and antibiotics, designed to target bacteria, won't help. Misusing antibiotics can lead to resistance and side effects. For HMPV, prevention includes hand hygiene, avoiding contact with the infected, disinfecting surfaces, and boosting immunity through a healthy lifestyle.
