My doctor finally gave me antibiotics and thankfully it cleared up pretty quickly and my cough is 99% gone. Unfortunately, the sinus infection I also had at the same time did not go away. According to my doctor, azithromycin works on bronchitis but hasn&#8217;t been clearing up sinus infections in people this winter. So I was given amoxycillin a week later. Within one day of taking it, my sinus infection was already a million times better. After not being able to smell anything or taste any food, and after having horrible congestion and throbbing sinuses, all of those symptoms were improved!!<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention it was fun times in our house??<\/p>\n<p>While antibiotics are good and I clearly needed them because they worked immediately on my ailments, they come with a whole bunch of side effects. You know all the side effects, I don&#8217;t need to spell it out here!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because of those nasty side effects I&#8217;ve been doubling up on my probiotics lately.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been into taking probiotics, even when I&#8217;m not taking antibiotics. They are really beneficial for gut health and studies show that it can help with things like<a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/vitamins-and-supplements\/health-benefits-of-taking-probiotics\"> IBS and Crohn&#8217;s, preventing yeast infections, and UTI&#8217;s.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Since we seem to catch everything from daycare, I started looking into whether or not probiotics could also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3560336\/\">help our immune systems to fight off the constant colds<\/a> we seem to be getting.<\/p>\n<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been feeling like the Trader Joe&#8217;s probiotics I was taking (that I&#8217;ve used for years) hasn&#8217;t really been doing the trick. I don&#8217;t know why. I began to look around at other brands. There is a lot out there and it&#8217;s hard making a decision on which is the &#8220;best&#8221; one.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was contacted by a company who makes probiotics: <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.superbioprobiotic.com\/\">Super Bio Probiotics<\/a>\u00a0and I jumped at the chance to try them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51607\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/untitled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/untitled.png 638w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/untitled-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">SuperBio combines its blend of probiotics with 900 mg of Spirulina to supercharge the probiotic growth by 600%.

He did not have any side effects from taking the probiotics, though.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I am still on the probiotics train. Since taking the probiotics for over a month our household has had a MUCH NEEDED BREAK from sickness! Seriously, we were lucky to not get sick for over a month.
