Is the crud going around?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Azithromycin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It is a macrolide-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This medication will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

The green and/or yellow crud coming from my nose and throat is usually not viral.

The colour of your mucus as an indicator of disease has been debunked. Enjoy your MRSA.

And this is why antibiotics should not be offered for sale without a recipe.....

NKOTB, there's a strain of influenza A type going around, and it's a pretty infectious one, and the chance is extremely likely you got that one.

I thought Birdy used to work as a nurse?
