Am i just making myself feel sick??

i was told im less likey to catch what he had well still on antibiotics

He said he was well i tried not breathing his air which i did the same when my parents were sick and i was stuck at home that week

so what are my chances of catching what he had like 5 days ago???

he was sick thursday i spent the night sunday what are my chances

If he really had the flu, being on antibiotics wont help. The flu is a virus and antibiotics only kill sicknesses caused by bacteria.

Antibiotics can actually weaken your immune system by killing off all bacteria in your body including your own "good bacterias" that help to fight off fungi and viral infection.

(That is why so many women get yeast infections when they take antibiotics. it kills the good bacteria in your vagina and the yeast, which is a fungus, takes over. Gross huh!??)

So no...it wont help unless he had a bacterial sickness, not the flu.

First it's not flu season
Second antibiotics don't help the flu
Third, What do you mean by the flu?

The real flu 'is like a bad cold only worse. With the real flu, (influenza) you always have a cough.

Or are you talking about the stomach flu?

Also, antibiotics don't help the stomach flu either.
