When you wake up with a stuffy nose, a cough, and a scratchy throat, it is natural to want a quick fix. Many people come into the clinic asking for antibiotics, thinking it will clear everything right up.
But antibiotics only kill bacteria.
Most common colds, flus, and winter bugs are actually caused by viruses. Antibiotics cannot hurt a virus. In fact, taking them when you don't need them can upset your stomach and make it harder for your body to fight off actual bacterial infections later on.
Instead, the best remedies are often the simplest ones. Lots of rest, plenty of fluids, and over-the-counter medicine to help you stay comfortable while your body does its job.
[Reminder: Always consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.]
