:? What i gather from question A is that you are knowing what medication that you need and you are going into the doctors office and telling him to write a prescription up for you that you thought of. It's not asking what you think he will give you.

Flu is a virus, antibiotics do nothing. Treating the symptoms will actually slow recovery, you have symptoms for a reason (i.e. a fever boosts your immune system, taking aspirin stops the fever and therefore removes that advantage)

 

 

 

2. If your doctor gave you antibiotics, how would you take them?

 

A. until symptoms go away

 

B. whenever I remember

 

C. until the symptoms go away, then a few more days

 

D. I take the entire prescribed amount

 

Want to be sure you killed everything, but don't take them for too long, you are probably going to create antibiotic resistant bacteria

A. throw it away

I would keep it until it expired :wink:
