hi you should not take antibiotics for a cold/flu they don't work for that kind of thing so you should tell your mother=in=law that she should know better being a nurse. your clinic doctor should tell you the same thing. do what the rest of us do take an aspirin go to bed and sweat it out. good luck
what antiboitcs are ok to take for severe cold/flu symptoms if you are currently taking methadone? . my mother-in-law is a nurse for uab er st. vincent's st. clair er and omniflight helicopter. i have been sick for right at about a week now and my mother-in-law got me a z-pak from the hospital to take. before taking it we looked up the drug interactions and if you take z-pak with methadone there is a high risk for an irregular heart rhythm. so we are trying to figure out what antibiotics i can take or even just a list of the ones i can't take. the dr. at clinic is never there or i'd ask him.
