Taking these medications (antiboics) too often can leave your body defenseless when its really needed.

I think you misunderstood- she WAS gonig to go to the doctor (and did). I just know that there are some doctors on here and I was going to get some data before sending her in. Trust me- I learned my lesson about medical advice from non-doctors years ago in college when our chef told me that if I could move it, it wasn't broken (it was).
As for taking them too often, she doesn't think she's had an antibiotic since childhood.
As for the final analysis from her doctor, she said that she thought it would get better on its own without the antibiotics, and it appears that she was right- wife is on the mend at this point. I put her on a strict regimen of vaporub, which I repeatedly offer to apply for her, but she gets pissed and says that her breasts aren't the sick part (apparently I had a problem targeting the 'right' areas).
The only thing that made this different than normal was that she has a race coming up, and wanted to kick this in the butt fast so she could get back to her training regimen.
