Knowing that you are studying the immune response, he is calling to ask you to explain this statement. Is the doctor correct? Is there more to the story?

Answer 1

In this case your friend it needs to be explained in a language where we can comprehend the response of B cells and not get entangled in the scientific language and help in understand the role of B cells in combat against bacteria. Doctor says that the B cells will take care of the bacterial infection that your friend has, must explain him that your infection is not at all serious which requires any other medical intervention according to a doctor says. you must then proceed with explaining that B cells are responsible to produce antibodies against any foreign particles or bacteria in this case. process that B cells will take care of bacterial infection what he needs is the infection which you have is not very serious and the body through B cells will take care of the infection itself and no other external intervention is required. your friend might be in panic due to technical language used against the infection which can happen to anybody but here we need to explain them in a non scientific manner in order to explain the role of antibodies against the bacterial infection and the ability of the body to heal itself on invasion of any external agent or bacteria in this case. sketch there is no more to the story than a normal and general case of bacterial infection which can be healed by the body itself and the doctor did not suggest any external dementia and such as antibiotics due to non severity of the situation and the body's ability to heal itself. this case the immune response is very simple that there is a bacterial infection and the body is capable of handling that infection and curing the body itself and no other external antibiotic is required and your friend needs to be explained that in its not to be worry about anything else.
