A member asked:
I am taking azithromycin for cough and cold. but it now working .. its 3rd day and no effect.. can i take amoxicillien ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't work: Coughs and colds are caused primarily by viruses, and no virus responds to any antibiotic. That's why the problem hasn't been helped by azithro and also why amoxicillin or any other antibiotic won't help either. Like almost all viral respiratory infections, it will clear up on its own in a few days. Discuss with your doctor if it coninues more than another week or so.
