I mentioned it for two reasons:
1. Infections are caused by either bacteria or viruses. Antibiotics kill bacteria. Naturally, if it's a viral infection, no amount of antibiotics will help.
2. One of the reasons that we're in such a deep pile of sh!t regarding antibiotic-resistant bacteria is because so many doctors tend to prescribe it for anyone complaining about anything - it has a placebo effect and makes the patient feel like the doctor is being proactive and made a correct diagnosis. It's a very rare and brave doctor who is honest enough to say, "I'm not sure - let's give it a week and see where we are."
Hope the meclizine helps,
