“It’s a virus.”
Have you ever been disappointed when you hear this from your doctor? Many patients are because they know this means it’s a waiting game. Usually, I find that patients are much happier to hear that their problem is bacterial because that means they get some of those good antibiotics! (Read about those here) For some reason, your doctor doesn’t like to do much to help you with viruses other than suggest wimpy over the counter medications, rest, and hydration. Why is that? Isn’t there something useful your doctor can do for you?
Yes, there is. And they are doing it.
