There are many things that must be done but two things that *patients* in the West (and particularly in the US) is not to demand an antibiotic from a doctor when you have the sniffles,etc.Viruses aren’t affected one bit by antibiotics.Second,when you’re given an antibiotic take it *exactly* as directed unless told otherwise by a doctor.That means if you’ve taken the pills for a few days and feel better you *continue* taking them for the original time span.

Correct, you are supposed to take them until you're finished or until the doctor says to stop. The anti-biotics are used to treat the side effects of the virus where they also bring upon a bacterial infection. If there is none beside the virus, you just have to suck it up and let it run its course.
