The correct answer is actually none. Many studies have shown that prescribing antibiotics does nothing to shorten the length or severity of symptoms, regardless of the color of the sputum, etc. The only studies that have shown any benefit (and there are only a few, compared with many studies showing no benefit) showed a very minor difference, for example a day less of symptoms. And for that very questionable benefit, you get the development of resistant organisms which are quickly becoming a public health crisis. Look for headlines involving "MRSA" or "VRE" for more info on that. Also look up "C. Diff Colitis" for another example of the dangers of overprescribing antibiotics.
Many different antibiotics may be used to treat a respiratory infection in a person. The choice depends on what is causing the infection as well as how well the patient responds to antibiotics tried before. Of course, if the respiratory infection is viral in nature, no antibiotic would be used becasue they are not effective against viruses.
I always have excellent luck with Amoxi-drops.
ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, Bactrim DS just to name a few are used to treat respiratory infections.

Coughing is treated with cough medicine. If you have an infection, such as an upper respiratory infection, that is causing the coughing, then that may be treated with an antibiotic, but a cough that is not due to an infection is not treated with an antibiotic.
An upper respiratory infection is contagious for as long as the active virus is in your system. Taking an antibiotic will help rid the body of the live virus. You will remain contagious for 24 hours following the first treatment of the antibiotic.
Upper Respiratory Infection
Upper Respiratory Infection

No. Antibiotics have absolutely no effect on viruses.They treat bacterial infections only.

An upper respiratory infection in cats is generally caused by a virus, against which an antibiotic would be useless. Therefore, there should not be any antibiotics being prescribed for this unless a secondary bacterial infection was also diagnosed.
