    You’re not the only one who thinks so. Never tried it myself, but I’ve heard the same story from several people. Sure anecdotal evidence is not evidence, and so on. I’m convinced there is some truth to that, but not because of the direct causality.

    Maybe it’s a strong placebo (most likely). If you look into placebo effect you’ll see it can be really powerful. Or there is something else in the human body that antibiotics stimulate. Like it’s not directly attacking the virus, but doing something else that makes it easier to recover.
