Okay. It was just that you said you had the 'flu' / a 'virus' - and anti-biotics aren't effective against 'flu' / a 'virus'. Though if a secondary bacterial infection develops they can help a little with that.

I'm not sure that one can tell whether one has a virus compared with a bacterial infection on the basis of ones first person perspective - without taking a sample and running tests. But still...

I hope you feel better soon...
