Your friend has had a virus-caused cold for 3 days and is still so stuffy and hoarse that he is hard to understand. He seems to be telling you that his doctor called in a prescription for an antibiotic, which your friend will be picking up at his pharmacy. You hope that you misunderstood him, but you realize that you heard him perfectly well.
Please answer the following questions - not more than three sentences.
1. Will the antibiotic help your friend's cold?
2. What are the risks to your friend if he takes the antibiotic? (Think about what might
happen if he develops a wound infection in the future.)
3. Your friend is a wrestler. What are the risks to his teammates or competitors if he
takes the antibiotic?
