thats u 
u know that diff ppl got diff recovery period?
really lah.. u need vit C more that anitbiotics...
it's true tat antibiotics help u recover, but at the same time,
they destroy ur natural antibodies, which will further destroy ur
immune system....
anyway, when i flu or fever or throat infection, my docs hardly
gimme antibiotics one... my docs say not gd to take... better to
take vit C n lotsa fluids....
