I've noticed that after close contact with those who get frequent shots and boosters I acquire phlegm in the back of my throat for a few days following. I'm pretty sure they are shedding, and if I take antibiotics the phlegm goes away. I've never had COVID, and no one close to me has ever tested positive. Is there a window when shedders are more contagious, or is it continuous because they are boosting on a regular time frame? I can't find much online profiling the shedding process and what to expect.

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.
