[Viking2002]

Tell your friend to hang in there. As an aside, my late father swore by a nip of apricot brandy when he felt under the weather. I'll vouch for that. I'm almost 58 and at high risk of everything, to the point where my doctor has me on a daily maintenance dose of an antibiotic for life now. I refuse to take a shot of some voodoo potion cooked up to counteract the effects of some dubious virus that may or may not exist, and if it does, may be an escapee from some Commie Asian biowarfare lab. I refuse to be gaslighted by these demonic bastards. If God wants me dead, it'll be by His will. Amen.

Your doctor is a flaming idiot. Antibiotics kill you gut flora which play an extremely critical role in your overall health. You are setting yourself up for a whole host of health issues.
