Advice for Safe and Healthy Travel for Students

Antibiotics Aren't Always the Answer
Antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses like colds, most sore throats and bronchitis, and some ear infections. Unneeded
antibiotics may lead to future antibiotic-resistant infections. Symptom relief might be the best treatment option.

Don't smoke, and avoid secondhand smoke.
