This interactive activity helps you look at the pros and cons of using antibiotics to treat illness. You get to play the role of a doctor who must treat seven patients and try to keep them from going to the hospital. At the your disposal are five different medicines, each of which can cause different side effects. The more powerful antibiotic has the most side effects associated with it.
The main screen of the interactive has three different sections. The one on the left shows one outline of a patient at a time. Inside the outline are the germs moving around in the body. The middle section contains the antibiotics that you can use to cure the patient. The section on the right shows the patient’s temperature and the effect of the antibiotics on the patient. You need to try to cure the patient without the patient’s temperature rising too high or getting too sick from the side effects caused by the antibiotics.
