My throat was so sure when coughing, then few hrs later I felt very cold even I m infront of the heater, we went to the doctor , told what happened, and got my temp was 38.5. He prescribed me an antibiotic n paracetamol. Because he asked me how phlegm look like told him it was brownish yellow, diagnosed it was flu the reason he prescribe antibiotic. It s that s okay?
