if I take antibiotics the phlegm goes away.
Why the fuck are you taking antibiotics for phlegm? You're probably destroying your gut flora and consequently, destroying your immune system. Probably why you keep getting sick around anyone.
Also antibiotics have no effect on viruses so useless against any corona virus including Covid, common flu and colds.
Furthermore, overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.
For clarification, it was a half tablet of hydrochloroquine on the third and fourth day following the contact. The contact was physical.
That's not an antibiotic. Big difference.
