I sure don't know but the one treatment cures all method isn't the way to go.
I hope Scruffy comes in this thread so he can see how bad this physician was
Brought my kid into the clinic in Orange Beach while on vacation because he had a wheeze when he was breathing in. I figured no big deal since he was still playing, but might as well bring him in
Physician diagnosed him with bronchitis and gave him antibitics to treat it
When we returned home, we followed up with his primary pedectrician
The pedetreician called the DR from Orange Beach a dumbass POS basically
Said 1. Wheezing on the inhale is not a sign of bronchitis usually. 2. Young children rarely get full fledge bronchitis. 3. THe main kicker, even if it was bronchitis treating it with antibiotics is beyond dumb
my kid had simple croup
We have become conditioned to trust physicians, but alot of them are simple idiots like every other type of human

My brother came down with Gilliam Barre Syndrome last month and the doctors missed his diagnosis twice. First visit they gave him pain meds only. Didn't improve and he went back. By this time, he was paralyzed from the waist down and still in tremendous pain. He was on the verge of having a heart attack due to blood pressure from the weeks of extreme pain and no sleep. They ran tests on him for 5 days and still couldn't figure it out.
Another doctor in the area was brought in and recognized it right off the bat.
He went 23 days undiagnosed. Went from 180 pounds to 150 in a few weeks. Brother is considering suing.
The longer you go without treatment, the longer the recovery (up to three years to fully recover on extreme cases).

Was it one of those quick clinics?
Be careful about those.
1. They largely employ NPs. Not all, but majority of them do. And, yes, they refer to themselves as Dr. So-and-so.
2. They hold to the stance of “they just want something even with viral infections”.
You would be absolute amazed by the crap that people are prescribed and sent home with by those clinics.
Scruffy has seen everything from what you described to oral albuterol to acyclovir for colds.
Don’t trust every practitioner you see, and if you go to a Quick Care clinic, realize before hand that they will give you something, likely an antibiotic, no matter the diagnosis.
