In conventional medicine, mainly two principles of treatment of disease are applied. The first is to reduce the effect of the disease and the second is to kill the microbes causing the disease. Symptomatic treatment may help reduce the impact of a disease but may not cure the root cause of the disease. The administration of certain drugs that block the biochemical processes can help kill the microorganism causing the disease. Antibiotics serve the purpose of killing the microorganisms or preventing their multiplication in the body.
