Answer 2

Flu is a common viral infection that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, cough, congestion, runny nose, headaches and fatigue. Its treatment involves primarily rest and fluid to let the body fight infection its own. In addition, over the counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers may help with symptoms. In this case, i therefore think that the doctors arguments would be, she is most likely ill from a virus. Antibiotics will not be effective against the flu virus, but bed rest and plenty of fluids will help.
