I've been taking Penicillin for a week and I caught a cold?!
Question: I've been taking Penicillin for a week and I caught a cold.?
I had a root canal last week and he put me on 2000mg of Penicillin a day, for the last week. On Wednesday it will have been 7 days since I started it. My 18 month old daughter caught a cold and has passed it to me. She seems to be getting over it quickly but I'm surprised having been taking an antiobiotic for the last week I caught the cold. Is this normal.?Health Question & Answer
