The answer is: no. antibiotics are not effective against viruses because antibiotics are made to kill bacteria, but viral infections (such as the flu) are hosted by viruses rather than bacteria.

Yes, my sister caught the flu and was prescribed with antibiotics, and with Motrin for the fever. The antibiotics basically faught the infection.
