Instead of Flu Jew, Bacterial Betty

The flu treatment, such as it is, wasn't working--the fever was way down, but the nose was still running like a faucet, and I still sounded like a croaking frog. On the other hand, I didn't have the aches and pains typical of a flu. So the doc and I decided to change gears, assume that what I had was a bacterial infection, and try an antibiotic. It seems to be working. My nose has stopped running, and my voice is almost back to normal. Tomorrow, back to the salt mines.
