Taking antibiotics does nothing for your viral infection. However, the human body -always- has bacterial happenings of various sorts, so taking antibiotics when you have a virus that lasts a couple days ends up causing people to think that they are fine as soon as they are healthy and stop taking the antibiotics.
However, those antibiotics affected other bacteria in your body. By hitting them with drugs, but not using them long enough to kill all the bacterial infections, you end up breeding bacteria for their resistance to that antibiotic.
I should not have said that it works the other way. It might in certain select circumstances, but I don't know enough to say.
