I went to the doctor today to have a mole removed from my body. I also had the flu at the time so the doctor prescribed me amoxillicin.
I have read a lot that states that antibiotics such as amoxicillin do not fight viral infections such as flu, colds, etc.
However, should I take the amoxicillin in order to prevent secondary bacteria infections?
Also, any advice on flu shots would be greatly appreciated. The last flu shot I had was about 4 years ago and about 3 weeks or so after getting the flu vaccine, I got the worst case of influenza of my life. I guess it is possible that I just picked up a different strain. My question is "It is possible to become sick from the flu vaccine even though they are injecting you with the dead virus?"
