The meds are doing NOTHING - viruses only last 5 days or so on their own. Get some cold and flu tabs over the counter to minimise the symptoms and just wait out the time.
The doctor is giving you stuff to keep you happy - don't go and let him over charge the national health system (sorry Colligny and Canman). Only go to doctors when you are really sick.
The main reason I even bothered going to the doc was I ran out of allergy meds...Claritin it OTC in the US, prescription in Japan. Think of how much better the health system would be if decent strength OTC meds were available.
