Antibiotic for Food Poisoning to Cure a Flu?

He is really hopeless at health issues. So I was having flu and sore throat on Sunday and guess what he told me?

"Remember that time when I got food poisoning? I still got some antibiotics left. You want?"

I was like, what? Here I am with a sore throat and flu and you are suggesting me to take antibiotic for food poisoning?

He "explained":"Aiya, it's just antibiotic ma. Just to kill the germs only, right? So antibiotic for food poisoning can kill all the germs in the nose and throat also, right?"

I almost fainted when I heard him saying that. Seriously, nobody can be more idiotic than him when it comes to health.

On the other hand, he's so caring that I can forget how idiotic he can get sometimes. Like how he got me a cup of hot milo and crackers when I had a severe stomach ache. It was an instant relief; and I was so happy that he remembered the fact that hot milo can make an upset stomach feels better.

Conclusion? I can forgive his dumbness. Anyway, not that his dumbness will last - I'm sure he'll be more health-conscious in future since I'm going to be the living and walking health-reminder for him.

I guess that's a headache for him. Haha!
