My upper respiratory infections never viral tired of going to doctor ever fall for antibiotics . is there another way to kill bacteria without antib?

Met: I would suggest a culture prior to another course of antibiotics. Most URIs are caused by viral rather than bacterial infection. Tests may be performed to identify respiratory viruses, including the flu virus. Atypical bacteria such as Mycoplasma should also be considered and treated accordingly. If you have a persistent cough, an imaging study may be performed.
