A member asked:
Its almost 3 weeks that i've had a cold.ive tried zithromax and cephalexin, but they havent helped.so now im trying amoxicillin. what will happen now?

Stop antibiotics: When cold symptoms don't respond to antibiotics, it is almost never because of a bacterial infection resistant to antibiotics. It means no bacterial infection at all: you have either a virus or allergy symptoms. No antibiotic will help. Taking unnecessary antibiotics is unhealthful, both for you and everyone, by contributing to bacterial antibiotic resistance. Work with your doctor on this.
