You may be surprised by the answer. View Online.

When cold and flu symptoms make you feel like a zombie, you might be tempted to ask for an antibiotic. Antibiotics are amazing, but they aren't always the answer.

While antibiotics play a crucial role, over-the-counter medicines should be used to relieve your cold and flu symptoms. Using antibiotics when they aren't needed partly leads to antibiotic resistance, which causes 35,000 deaths in the US each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Question 1: True or False - Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Answer: True - Antibiotic resistance does not mean your body is resistant to anitbiotics.

Question 2: True or false - Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent public health threats. Answer: True - Every year in the US, 2.8 million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant germs.

Question 3: True or false - If bacteria is resistant to just one antibiotic, it's not a big deal. Answer: False - Resistance to even a single antibiotic is dangerous and can lead to serious problems

The truth is that effective relief from cold and flu symptoms is simple: it's OTC medicines like Mucinex®. Together, we can flip the script on antibiotic overuse.
