A member asked:
Why would dr prescribe z pack for flu symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: As a general rule this seems quite inappropriate, but without knowing what the doctor found on their examination would hesitate to comment. They may have discovered something which required antibiotic therapy.
