If you have or are getting over a cold, we hope that you feel better soon. However, our colleagues down the hall at Consumer Reports
hope that you do not run to your doctor’s office and demand antibiotics unless test results show that your have strep throat, or you show symptoms of pneumonia. Antbiotics are life-saving when you need them, but taking them when you don’t can contribute to
antibiotic resistance in the community. [
