Question: I have had cold symptoms for a few days now runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, cough w/ phelgm, and just weak in general. I started a antibiotic Thursday night for my throat. Its Amoxicillin twice a day 500 mg. Friday I woke feeling alright I took my Amoxicillin with just some coffee about 45 minutes later i seriously felt like i had to vomit, but i didnt so it was just nausea i guess .. I went to bed and woke up a couple hours later and felt fine now i have this nausea feeling a couple times a day. I just had dinner and i wasnt even finished and i felt the urge that I had to go to the bathroom .. I went and i dont mean to be gross but some of it was diarhea and some not my mom told me its the "poison" thats making me sick coming out.. is it really or what? and could this be the flu.. i dont think this is a stomach bug.

Some antibiotics will make you feel sick and give you diarrhea. First you should try taking them with food, and water, not coffee. If you still get sick, then you'll know it's the pills. If you have a viral infection, you're wasting your time taking antibiotics. You may have had food poisoning and yes it will give you the watery bowel movements, and yes it is your body expelling it from your system. For the stuffy nose, boil some salt water, and when it starts boiling, turn off the heat and breathe the steam into your nostrils and before you know it, you'll be blowing your nose. Just don't get your face to close to burn it. Inhale lots of the steam, straighten up and blow out. If you blow out over the pan, you will blow away the steam vapors. Sore throat, gargle with Luke warm water and a tablespoon of Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. After you gargle a couple times, the next one gargle and then swallow. Vinegar will kill germs that get loose from your throat and goes to your stomach. Get yourself some expectorant Cough Medicine like Robitussin DM. Hope this helps. Take vitamin C and zinc tablets also.
It sounds like the flu. It can rebound sometimes, just listen to your mom and lay low for a while. You'll be better before you know it!
It could be a reaction to the Amoxicillin. Also, it could be part of the flu. It's going around EVERYWHERE and it has multiple types of symptoms.
