Of course it's indicative of an infection, and of course you will either recover from it or die without antibiotics. However, the chances of the infection leading to something that will kill you are much higher if you don't take antibiotics. Almost every day I read something saying we don't need this med or that med. Usually it is followed by FDA removing a med from the market, a huge price increase in the med putting it out of reach for many poor people or a new reluctance by doctors to write a prescription for the med, because of FDA oversight would be my guess. I do believe they have decided the way out of our financial problems is to halve the population and they are going at it hammer and tongs.

Really? That puts you in the same category as Jeremiah Wright who thinks "they" invented AIDS, as well as drugs, to wipe out blacks.

“However, the chances of the infection leading to something that will kill you are much higher if you don’t take antibiotics”

This ridiculous thought process is not backed up by medical studies.

Also, this thought process is what has led to the growth of superbugs which can’t be killed with antibiotics.
