Yes, they do. Cortisone and a Z-Pack and I'm out that bitch, feeling like a million dollars that afternoon.

Also, inb4 the 10 thousand responses saying how bad antibiotics are for you.

Unless you have a reaction, then you die much more quickly.

Well there is truth to that. We now have super infections that cannot be killed by the strongest antibiotics we have on the planet. If those infections become something easily spread....we are seriously fricked.

You don't have to be in the medical field to understand this concept. Clearly logic and common sense are something you don't possess.

Cortisone shot made me feel like a new person after 22-day long sinus infection. They put me on antibiotics too but the shot was MAGIC.

Like if rabies becomes airborne lol,..when I lived in a populated area as a kid, I found that I got sick with everyone else when things were going around.

As I've gotten older and have lived in a remote location, I hardly ever do. I dont take antibiotics often, maybe once every 5 years if that. Often wonder if that would help, depending on these super sicknesses.

Like, being I'm not used to antibiotics..would it benefit more? Say if one of those super sicknesses hit, generally..would the illness be immune against antibiotics in a system that is not used to an antibiotic overload?

Just to be clear, steroids do not kill an infection. It just reduces swelling and makes you feel better temporarily.

The steroid shot only gives u energy and makes u feel better until the other shot (different dr, different med) can take affect.
