Antibiotics or not? Contrary to popular belief, antibiotics are not the cure-all medicine in most cases.  There are many different viruses around us, some causing severe illness, and some  much less serious, like the common cold.  Colds are viral infections (not bacterial) characterized by congestion in the head  and often the chest as well as low fevers, loss of appetite, mild coughing and often  a miserable attitude. In school age children colds usually last five to seven days,  but in infants and toddlers, whose immune systems have not "seen" many germs,  the symptoms can linger for 3 to 4 weeks. Antibiotics are not prescribed for colds or  viral illnesses in general.
