I actually read that if one washes their hands with antiseptic rather than anti bacterial soap then it really helps combat frequent flu infections. Also wash the clothes in special washing powder that nursing homes use really helps too.
Alot of doctors from the indian subcontinent use antibiotics for everything! This is a major complaint here in britain. As infection is good to strengthen the immune system. And, from what I hear, one should only reach for antibiotics if he has had the same infection for more than 2 weeks.
The reason for this is because it is quite common to become reinfected with the same virus. However, if it lasts for more than 2 weeks then it is most likely a bacterial infection which would then need antibiotics. As a rule of thumb!
