I called my doctor and got an antibiotics prescription yesterday.

I gotta ask. What are the antibiotics for? Unless you have bacterial infection, they don't help, was/is your doc is worried about pneumonia or something? It's a fact that antibiotics are over prescribed. I have a brother in law who has needed them for various UTI issues. He ended up with a horrible case of Cdiff. If you aren't familiar with it, check it out. The fewer antibiotics one takes the better.

Got it! Hope you feel better. I have asthma and if a respiratory infection lingers I've been given antibiotics, "just in case." Of late though, I'd be more hesitant to take them.......

Wow! That isn't good. Did you have a Pneumovax? I'd recommend it, after you've recovered from your cold. Since I work at Keck, we get all those shots for free (if wanted). Flu, pneumovax, tetanus, whatever.
