No, no antibiotics. Doc says it's viral, so they'd be of no help. He
considered giving me a prescription for one of the flu meds, but said
because I'd already had it for nearly a week, it wouldn't be much help
either.
I'll look for the book, thanks! I'm always open to alternatives to
pharmaceuticals...I take enough meds as it is. More than I'd like to anyway.
