No, Swine Flu is a virus and amoxicillin is an antibiotic which means it only fights bacteria.

The effects of Swine flu can lead to infections that may or may not require the use of an antibiotic like amoxilin. However the amoxilin does not fight the Swine flu virus it fights the infection that is caused by the original presence of the virus. Your immune system takes care of the virus.

Amoxicillin will not help the flu. Amoxicillin is for bacterial infections, and the flu is a virus. Viruses are not killed by antibiotics. If you have a bacterial infection WITH the flu, then it will help the infection, but not the flu.

No. Antibiotics like Amoxicillin are ineffective in treating the flu or other viral infections. Antibiotics are made only to treat bacterial infections.
