I was talking to a friend about the fact that when fighting a cold you’re better off just resting it out and drinking a lot of fluids, instead of taking a bunch of antibiotics and other medicine. I don’t know about you, but whenever I get a cold I always feel even worse after taking medicine. When I don’t take medicine, I usually get over a cold in 3-4 days. I know some people who have been fighting a cold for more than 7 days and they usually have taken some sort of antibiotics.
I guess it really is a preference, but as much as possible, I really try to avoid taking any type of medicine, unless I am really suffering, otherwise I just let it make it’s way out of my system. A common example would be the typical headache. Usually, when you have a headache, it’s best to drink a lot of water, instead of popping an aspirin. If you’re absolutely in pain and agony, then make that aspirin your last resort.
I really wonder what others think about this subject, so feel free to voice your opinion in the comments.
