If the patient's condition is a little more serious than usual, the doctor often advises the consumption of antibiotics.

Antibiotics are commonly used to treat bacterial infections. Many antibiotics also have side effects. So as an alternative to medicine, there are some homemade foods that act as natural antibiotics. Two such foods are discussed-

ginger

A super anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory food. It contains gingerol, terpenoids, shogaol, zerumbone and gingerone as well as potent flavonoids with anti-microbial properties. Ginger can effectively help fight many species of bacteria. Ginger can be chewed after meals as a mouth freshener. You can also sprinkle ginger over salads and soups.

garlic

Garlic contains allicin, which can effectively fight against various bacteria. Garlic can kill pathogens responsible for common and rare infections. It has strong anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties and is best eaten raw. But eat it in moderation. People with bleeding disorders must consult a doctor before consuming.
