does antibiotic do any good for the common cold?!


Question:

Answers:
Nope. Colds are viral. Antibiotics do nothing to viruses. If you get a sinus infection or something like that along with the cold the antibiotics would cure the infection, but it wont help the cold. Take some things like vitamin C and echinacea to naturally boost your immune system and you may get over it quicker.

Other Answers:
No. There is no cure for the common cold. You can treat the symptoms with things like antihistamines and decongestants but the cold must run its course.
antibiotics should not be taken without doctor's prescription. if you have common cold, just drink a lot of liquids and rest.
no, I suggest you take a lot of Vitamine C
No, The common cold is a VIRUS, antibiotics fight BACTERIA.
