Why am i prescribed an Antibiotic?!


Question: Why am i prescribed an Antibiotic?
I am having seasonal Flu (running nose, sore throat, lil fever) as this is a viral infection but why did my Doc prescribed me Augmentin amoxicillin? He told me it will make u better, but how?

Answers:

You must have a secondary infection such as tonsils or pneumonia, or some other complication of the flu. If not then he should not have prescribed antibiotics. Dangerous to take it if you do not need it. My son went and he prescribed or told him to get Robitussin DM and ibuprofen,
I thought he might have pneumonia.



must be for something else accompanying the flu. antibiotics are ONLY to kill bacteria, not viruses.



The only way to kill viral infections is with antibiotics.



You should use bactrim, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://mdcatm46.notlong.com/1AA2CJA
