Went to AnE 2days ago I went due to fever and high heart rate.. I was told after a few hours I had flu and to go home with antibiotics and tamiflu.. they said not to worry about high heart right as it's all down to the flu but some how I can't stop focusing on it the fever does not worry me just the heart rate is freaking me out

Why were you given antibiotics for the flu?

Antibiotics won't do anything for the flu, it's a virus. The tamiflu should shorten the flu by a day or two.

Unless it's gone bacterial, then antibiotics will be appropriate :) I'll be getting my flu ingestion in March (that's our Autumn in NZ)

They won't give antibiotics for the flu it's viral, not bacterial unless they do a blood test antibiotics won't cure the flu, bed rest, fluids and aspirin works.
