A member asked:
Can i take antibiotics with probiotics for flu?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There are a couple of anti-virals that can help with certain flu strains, but antibiotics do not. Probiotics have little effect on anything, but you gut bacterial balance.

If prescribed an antibiotic, the probiotic will help to maintain gut health. if I do not have a bacterial infection, please discuss the need for the medication with your physician. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and fever. COVID-19 screening is recommended.
