OK, here's the deal. Everyone is getting sick, really bad. We have a ton of lab-confirmed flu, plus tonsilitis, sinusitis, bronchitis & pneumonia coming into the clinic. Everyone, whether you feel ill right now or not, should increase fluids, eat healthy & for God's sake
wash your hands! Seriously, 20 times a day is not too much!
Think about all the stuff you touch every day & how many other have touched it - well, I don't want anyone to get OCD on me here, but let's say I have a runny nose. I quickly wipe my nose with a tissue, toss it out & walk out the door. You touch the door handle...you can see where thgis is going, right?
As for antibiotics - Z Pack is a great med, but it does NOT work on every bacteria known to man - neither does any other antibiotic. It's really hit & miss, they try to prescribe a drug that covers lots of different bugs without wiping out all of your body's normal bacteria & without you developing resistance.

OK, so Diss - glad you're feeling better!
But if I ever hear that you wasted the ER staff's time with your cold/flu/VD, you'll be hearing from me again!
