No, this is not the case although antibiotics are given in the treatment of bacterial infection as they can kill bacteria but Swine flu is a virus (H1M1), so directly it has no role in the treatment of Swine flu. But antibiotics are always prescribed in this treatment to protect the patient from any other secondary infection of bacteria and hence it plays a vital role in the treatment of Swine Flu.
I think antibiotics are playing an important role in the treatment of Swine Flu.
