HELP! Antibiotics and viruses.
I know they don't kill viruses, but do they have a detrimental affect on the immune system, to the extent a virus can really take hold when it was on its way out?
I'm in the UK largely because of my daughter's wedding, a huge affair with me taking her down the isle. I went to the rehearsal last weekend, and her kids - yep, she's getting married years after this relationship started - her kids fairly sprayed me with their sneezes. I haven't seen a germ in two years and was wide open.
Felt like crap, but there was time to get better for the wedding - until I begged an antibiotic from the nurse practitioner. The logic was I was getting green grot from my lungs, and I wanted to avoid a secondary infection. I took the first one today.
Within an hour, the virus really hit me again. The whole nine yards.
Was it just chance, or did one Clarithromycin stuff my immune system to such an extent the virus could make a comeback?
