The flu and being contagious???

i heard when you have the flu, and you are on antibiotics it is only contagious for the first 24 hrs. antibiotics are for bronchitious. thanks.

If you get the flu, I have the sure thing for you. Drink a quart of whiskey each day, for 7 days. It doesn`t cure anything, but now you don`t care. Doctor Joe says.

This is true. After completing 24 hours of antibiotics, it is believed you can no longer pass an active infection to another person.

very true

OK but how long with out antibiotics, also flu is caused by a virus so a anti virus is needed in the first 48 hrs to be affective. So I was told.

Doug g is correct. The flu is a viral infection. It may be treated with antiviral meds or left to run its course. Treatment for the symptoms may be administered but antibiotics are contraindicated.

Several viruses cause bronchitis, including influenza A and B, which we commonly call "the flu."

A number of bacteria are known to cause bronchitis, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes so鈥揷alled walking pneumonia.

triple H.i hope u no what your talkin about,my friend would like to no this

The flu is not affected by antibiotics at all. The flu is contagious the whole time that you have symptoms. So about a week.

antibiotics are not good for health
