Does virus go into each cell and take its nutrients.
Then after that does it keep on spreading and then your body tries to kill it and then you get fever and runny stuffy nose.

1.5. When you take antibiotics how does it kill bacteria?
i know they don't work on viruses because there are so many different forms of the virus

2. Where is water stored, and does it help to sweat when you are sick.
I know you are supposed to drink a lot, but why
is that because your body needs the nutrients that are lost in killing the virus

3. How do you get your self more white/red blood cells?
I heard eating tomatoes helps in getting red blood cells

This is far too much for any single thread. Each of your questions can be a thread of its own, so I'm locking this one. Please create separate threads for the separate questions (I'm locking instead of deleting so you can still view your questions and copy them).

I am glad to see that you are taking an interest in understanding common health issues and treatments. I will do my best to provide accurate and concise answers to your questions.

1. When you get sick (common cold/virus), it is usually due to a virus or bacteria invading your body. The virus or bacteria can enter your body through various means, such as through the air or by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces. Once inside your body, the virus or bacteria will attach to your cells and use them to replicate and spread. Your body's immune system will then try to fight off the invading virus or bacteria, which can result in symptoms such as fever and runny/stuffy nose. The virus or bacteria do not take nutrients from your cells, but they can damage them in the process of replicating.

1.5. Antibiotics work by targeting specific parts of bacteria, such as their cell walls or protein synthesis machinery, and disrupting their ability to survive and reproduce. This ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses have different structures and mechanisms than bacteria, making them resistant to antibiotics.

2. Water is stored in various parts of our body, including our cells, blood, and tissues. When we are sick, our body needs more water to help flush out toxins and fight off the virus or bacteria. Sweating can also be helpful in reducing fever and removing toxins from the body. Drinking water is important because it helps replenish the fluids lost through sweating and also provides hydration for our cells to function properly.

3. Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. Eating a balanced and nutritious diet can help in the production of these cells. Tomatoes contain vitamin C, which is important for the production of red blood cells. However, it is important to note that simply eating tomatoes will not significantly increase your red blood cell count. It is important to have a well-rounded and healthy diet to support the production of these cells.

4. The time it takes for a vein to clot and stop bleeding depends on various factors, such as the size of the cut, location, and overall health of the individual. In general, a small cut on the skin should clot within a few minutes, but a larger or deeper cut may take longer. If you are experiencing excessive bleeding, it is important to seek medical attention.

5. When your ear pops, it means that the pressure inside and outside of your ear
