What Medicines to Take Although both microorganisms cause disease, viruses differ from bacteria in that bacteria generally respond to antibiotics, whereas viruses do not. Antibiotics do not work against cold or flu germs. To treat the symptoms of the common cold, doctors prescribe antihistamines and decongestants. For coughs, doctors prescribe cough suppressants and expectorants.
Ask your doctor about which medications are best for you. |
