I ve had a flu for a month now, i went to the doctor 3weeks ago, he prescribed an antibiotic, but it didn't help, my condition is getting worse now?

Go back to your MD: The flu is a virus, antibiotics treat bacterial infections only, not viruses. If you are still feeling ill, you need to be re-evaluated by a physician to see what is going on with you.
