AVOID ANTIBIOTICS
A virus does not need an antibiotic. Flu, tummy upsets, coughs, colds and sore throats are all caused by viruses, and the only treatment is rest and plenty of fluids. In recent decades, far too many antibiotics have been issued unnecessarily for these ailments, causing a crisis of antibiotic resistance. And don’t expect to be better in a day or two, as it can take up to 10-14 days to recover.
