Sick as a dog!

A week ago everyone was coming into my office sneezing, coughing, sniffling... I was waking my hands, steering clear of the infected and yet I still got sick.

My throat feels like I swallowed fire, I'm sneezing, sniffling and I can't breath at the same time. I go to urgent care and they give me Amoxicillin (antibiotics). I call my Ob/GYN and they tell me they are safe. I haven't developed an infection I'm just sick. But they want me to take these just in case- to avoid an infection. I'm feeling nervous about taking these antibiotics. How many mom's out there were ever or are in my shoes?
