This is a very stupid idea. You should see your doctor and get a proper
diagnosis first. If you get sicker after taking the antibiotics, how will
you know if it is the drugs or the infection that made you worse?

Do yourself a favor, see a doctor.

Remember, a doctor is fool who has himself for a patient.
