If it's a virus, short of getting vaccinated beforehand, you just have to let it run its course. That's what irks me about doctors who give you medicine for a cold or the flu. They cannot yet KILL a virus, so all they're doing is breeding more resistant bacteria....

And in reply to a reply, way back in the day, one could get a massive infection from a little cut, and die...nowadays, we don't think twice about a paper cut, but back then, it could lead to gangrene, and because of the lack of knowlege among doctors, getting the gangrene treated (ie, cutting off your gangrenous part) was pretty much a death sentence. Doctors didn't wash their hands or anything....all that came during and after the civil war, if I remember correctly.


Oh, and Jinx, thanks for the info.
