That is quite correct. Antibiotics are for infections.G goes to the doctor when he has a cold and wants antibiotics. He does not get them because they do not work on a Virus.

Bacterial infections - not viral.Antibiotics are for infections.
This is much more than a cold: it's unusual when I eat a total of 1 bagel over the course of 2 days because of stomach pains and body aches, and I barely have the strength to get out of bed. But. I'm told, that is not the flu. With so many things that aren't the flu, I'm starting to wonder what the flu actually is...G goes to the doctor when he has a cold and wants antibiotics.

nobody here is a legal Medical Doctor ..
I am sure you have something food related and the symptoms are like the " flu " and hit the weak points of one´s body, not the strong ..
I've had a rotten cold since Christmas. It nearly goes, and then the weather changes and it's back again. The water leak I had at home meant the house was damp for a couple of weeks - upstairs because of the actual leak (from the water tank in the airing cupboard) and downstairs because of constant washing and drying of clothes, towels and bedding in the kitchen. I felt fine a couple of weeks or so ago, but then it became cold and wet and the cold turned into a full blown chest infection. I feel as though I've got no energy whatsoever, and even going to the corner shop (about 100 yds) made me feel exhausted. I've spent the last couple of weeks snuggled up on the sofa, watching TV or reading, eating soupy food and dairy, and drinking lots of chocolate.I am rather late to this so @The Late Night Gourmet I hope you are now better.
I am now on my second cold of the year and I find that when poorly all I want to do is eat, it is almost as though my body is craving as much energy as possible to fight the germs. I don't want anything spicy just comforting.
My immune system is most likely quite low despite eating reasonably healthily, I have never smoked, haven't had an alcoholic drink for a couple of weeks, I need a healthy dose of sunshine which isn't going to happen for a while.
I think sometimes we neglect our health because we are busy with work/family etc..until 1 day our body forces us to listen and slow down.
