Viruses and Antibiotics

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. Ive been sick for a week now with this bad head cold/body infection. I went to the doctor after missing work for 2 days and he prescribed me amoxicillin for 10 days. Ive been taking it for 5 days and I havent noticed a difference at all maybe other than I have more energy? (My sore throat and swollen lymph node did disappear though also). Im concerned that this may have been viral and after I finish the antibiotics its going to return with a vengeance. )': I have to travel at the end of this week and I cant afford to get even worse...is there harm in taking antibiotics with a virus?

well Virus are not affected by antibiotics, and antibiotics also destroy the good bacteria in the gut, weakening the immune system and making way for a virus to replicate, so honestly..yes it can but only if your gut bacteria is extremely damaged by the antibiotics, you could invest in a good pre and probiotic, im not talking about that gummy junk they sell i mean go into a healthfood store and get their 30 to 40 dollar bottles of probiotics with 30+ billion cultures to keep your good bacteria alive.
