Answers:
I have had the flu a number of times and definitely no sore throat with that!. If one had the flu and developed a bacterial infection of the throat then antibiotics could be used!. As has been repeated numerous times antibiotics are not used for viral infections which is what the flu is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

antibiotics don't actually help a cold as colds and flu are viral infections, throat infections tend to be caused by infections which contain bacteria hence why antibiotics are used!

not all colds and flu lead to infections, some do!.!.!. so although colds and flu can cause throat infections etc, that's not always the case hence why there is no point putting someone on antibiotics when they just have a cold!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It does NOT normally turn into a 'Throat infection" It's a viral illness, and in young, healthy people, antibiotics will do nothing!. It can have complications like pneumonia in some people, which will need treatment, but this is highly unlikely, and symptoms will progress drastically before any antibiotic treatment is warranted!. Antibiotic resistance should be a more serious concern to physicians and patients alike!. Eventually, resistant bacterial strains will wreak havoc, and we will have no antibiotic defenses, because dumb asses think taking antibiotics will cure everything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Taking antibiotics for viral infections, such as a cold, cough, the flu, or most bronchitis, will not cure the infections, keep other individuals from catching the illness, ar make you feel better!.

Sore throats are common, particularly in children!. Most are viral and antibiotics will not help to treat them, in fact, recurrence and relapse is more common in those who have had early treatment with antibiotics!. Viral infections causing sore throats must be left to run their course!. A minority of sore throats (Strep throat) are caused by bacteria!.
