Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 As you know the flu is caused by a virus, not a bacteria. The only time you would need antibiotics is if you develop an ugly secondary bacterial infection. See what it is, a cold, or the flu, and react accordingly. If it is a serious flu, use Tamiflu. If it is just a cold, enjoy yourself. Antibiotics are your reserve, in case all else fails and you get an infection. Perhaps Dr. Furman would like to chime in on this one.
