About the flu in general?

I have always been given to understand in the last decade? That you are not contagious AFTER you've been rendered antibiotics for 48-72 hours. However, I have just read in two health articles this week? That you are STILL contagious 3-4 days AFTER if you haven't had antibiotics. Hm. Somewhere in between? Must lie the TRUTH...Any ideas? Thanks...

    I don't know who told you that, But I don't agree. Yes you can be contagious.
