Cold won't go away after 2 rounds of antibiotics?

Not right treatment: Most colds are caused by viruses (coronavirus, rhinovirus, etc). Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. There are no agents that specifically treat colds. Rest, good food, and treating symptoms like congestion or sore throat is the best approach.
