Weakened immune system

[Elisa.frazier]

I am just terrified of antibiotics because they make me feel horrible and weaken your immune system. But I have had bronchitis for about 4 weeks it got really bad so I had to force myself to finally take antibiotics and steroids. Both of those medications weaken your immune system. Now it seems everyone I talk to is either sick or knows of someone who is sick. I am very scared.

Have you tried probiotics while taking antibiotics? Probiotics not only boost your immune system (since most of your immune system is in your gut) but they also put the good bacteria back in it. Just don’t take the two together, a two hour window in between each. We take probiotics on a daily basis and up the amount when sick!

Did your doctor say you needed to take antibiotics? Most cases of bronchitis are due to a virus and therefore do not require antibiotics.
