Debating on taking rx: viral or bacterial?

[Anonymous]

Take a pack. Walking pneumonia is going around, starts with awful sore throat then cold symptoms set in. Z pack should help!

I had the same thing. The “it’s just a virus!” Or “Covid” do everyone a disservice by preventing them or talking them out of getting the care they needed by pretending to know what’s wrong with them on the internet. Just listed to your care providers and doctors and stop listening to the nutters on here.

except OP went to the doctor for a sore throat and now has entirely different symptoms … it’s not even clear that steroids are appropriate for treating this but hey, just take all the meds!

Just go away. You aren't a doctor and give shit advice.
