Damien Campos · Answer 1

Whooping cough and Cholera

Explanation:

Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria. In this case Chickenpox, Syphilis and cold sores will not improve with the treatment since these are caused by viruses.

Whooping cough is caused by a bacteria called: Bordetella pertussis. Cholera is caused by a bacteria called Vibrio cholerae. This will be able to be treated with antibiotics.
