Saubones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, Tommy is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

We came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's lost it out. We were shot through the broken glass and had ourselves a look around.

Hello everybody and welcome to Saubones, a marital tour of Miss Guy to Medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McAroy.

And I'm Sydney McAroy. Well, Sydney, it's called in flu season. Yes, it is Justin. Did you get your flu shot?

You know I did. Good. Because no matter what, we're not going to talk about the flu because we've talked about the flu before.

I just want to briefly say no matter what you've heard on the news about how effective or ineffective the flu shot may be, you still should get your flu shot.

We still recommend it. Even if there's a chance it's not going to protect you, there's a chance it will.

And also we have reason to believe that because of some cross your activity, even if it's the wrong strain, you may have a less severe version of the flu if you get it.

So as someone who has had their flu shot and then still got the flu, I will still strongly recommend you get your flu shot.

Get your flu shot. But this time it's not just cold. It's not just flu. There's a lot of bugs this time here.

That's right. This is the time of year where everybody gets, you know, the sniffles and they come into your office and they say Sydney make me feel better.

It's true. It's it's very frustrating to have upper respiratory infections, meaning like this stuff that makes you have a runny nose and a sore throat.

And cough and congestion and that kind of stuff, even like sinus infections that kind of in this same arena because most of them are caused by viruses.

And there's not much we can do to expedite your healing from a viral infection in this case. There are other viruses maybe, but for this case, it's usually just time and fluids and rest.

And you'll get better. No, no, no, no.

But one thing that generally will not help unless you do do happen to have a bacterial infection are antibiotics.

And you get a lot of people asking you for those I know.

It's a it's a common problem because you know, sometimes you have an infection and your doctor tells you need antibiotics and then other times your doctor might tell you you don't.
