Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

He followed an old prescription given to his uncle who had similar symptoms.

Antibiotics should not be taken without the prescription of the doctor as the dosage and disease might vary from one person to another. The dosage of the antibiotics should be strictly followed. Antibiotics should not be used against viral infections like common cold.
