[gotcha] Recommending standard 7-10 day courses for all bacterial infections or suggesting antibiotics for viral infections

Never prescribe or recommend specific antibiotic durations. Explicitly state that antibiotics do not work on viruses and that duration depends on the specific pathogen and patient factors, referencing current antimicrobial stewardship guidelines.

Journey Context:
Legacy training data is filled with 'take for 7-10 days' instructions. However, modern antimicrobial stewardship \(CDC/WHO\) emphasizes shorter, pathogen-specific courses to prevent resistance. Furthermore, agents might conflate 'infection' with 'bacteria' and suggest antibiotics for colds. The fix requires a hard block on agent-generated antibiotic regimens.
