How long should I wait to see the doctor about the flu? Second Time?

I got the flu on Friday and when to the doctor on Saturday. The doctor gave me Azithromycin. Now it's Monday and I still have the flu. When should I go back to the doctor about my flu again?

You didn't need to go to the doctor in the first place. There's no need to go back either. Your doctor can't do anything for the flu that you can't do yourself. Keep warm, rest, drink tea, soup, etc. Keep hydrated. You'll feel better in a week or so.

Your doctor actually did you and the rest of humanity a huge disservice by giving you antibiotics. Antibiotics don't help the flu. The flu is a virus and is unaffected by antibiotics. Antibiotics are only for bacterial infections. When antibiotics are taken unnecessarily, all they do is create super-bugs, like the MRSA that is in the news right now.

I would actually fire this doctor. He was just trying to shut you up and get you out of his office as quickly as possible. He just gave you the antibiotics to make you think he was doing something to help you so he didn't have to explain the truth to you.
