If it was "only" [1] a viral disease, it should dissapear even without antibiotics after a week or two. So perhaps your body solved the problem alone, while you took antibiotics that had no effect. This is a real posibility and is a real problem to test how useful the medicines are. So all serious studies use a control group [2] to compare the rate of spontanous healing with the rate of healing with the antibiotic. [1] Some virus are very nasty and can kill you. People confuse the common cold andd the flu, but usualy the flu is much worse. [2] Preferabely a preregistered double blind randomized control group, becuse there are a lot of other problem that can cause a false result. |
