Doctor, what's wrong with my girl?  Does she need any antibiotics?

No.  She has the flu. Antibiotics aren't necessary.

But won't she recover faster with antibiotics?

No! Antibiotics only work against bacteria.
They don't work for viral infections such as a cold or the flu.

Umm… Which is for a fever? Which is for a cough?
Am I asking too many questions, doctor?

Not at all! Please do ask questions so you know more about drugs and how they should be used.
