Antibiotics cure bacterial infections, not viral infections such as colds or the flu.
In most cases, symptoms of upper respiratory infections, including sore throats, ear and sinus infections, colds and bronchitis, can be eased by getting plenty of rest, drinking enough fluids, avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke, and taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve pain or fever.
Soothe a sore throat with ice chips, popsicles, lozenges, warm beverages, or by gargling with salt water.
A warm compress over the nose and forehead can help relieve sinus pressure. For older children and adults, other options include a decongestant or saline nasal spray, or breathing in steam from the shower or a bowl of hot water.
Over-the-counter medications can help. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about their use.
