fayerody - Yup, after 20 years of knowing better, doctors still over-prescribe antibiotics all of the time. It is a symptom of our society; people are programmed by T.V. commercials that if you have a cold, it needs to be treated with medication. A cold is going to last 7 to 10 days, no matter what you take for it. The cop out that by giving antibiotics you are preventing opportunistic bacterial infections because the cold virus has weakened your immune system is just plain illogical and wrong. Drink lots of water, and rest as much as possible; that's the best that can be done.
