I dont agree w her not vaccinating but to a degree its the other way around. Medication introduces a new selection pressure on pathogens thus causing them to become more resistant. As the other person said, rest, hydration and nutrients r all thats needed in most cases, and overactive measures are bad. its good to be cautious but not overly so to the point u take antibiotics for every single infection (unless ur doctors told u to).
Yeah obviously you shouldn't take antibiotics for a little flu. I was more talking about medicine to fight the symptoms. For example some syrup for the throat, or a nose spray against snot. It doesn't fight the virus but it relieves some of the pain and allows for a quicker recovery.
