It would be better for all concerned but isn't there something in the doctor's oath that precludes this?
I've only had an antibiotic 4 times in my life and three of those were for tooth abscesses but even then the abscess could have been lanced/drained to ease the pain. Antibiotic was the easy route.
BTW the last time the antibiotic ruined my guts and I had to take pro-biotics to sort them out.
