Why are you being prescribed antibiotics for colds and flu? It's been known for a long time they are no use for those conditions and over prescribing is creating superbugs which don't respond at all to anbibiotics.
Often a viral pneumonia(Flu) will resolve with favorable outcome but the damage to host defense invariably leads to secondary bacterial infection ,that most often kills the patient in the pre-antibiotic era. I want to draw your attention to the spanish flu of 1918. At that time in history a virus was not even in someone's imagination . While virus was causing disease no one knew of their existence. Flu is short for Influenza and Specialist of the day blamed the disease on the Bacterium Haemophilus influenzae the true killer in the Flue outbreak of 1918. This is why people get prescribed antibiotics. I do not prescribe , i advise doctors at big hospitals when to give what to whom so they leave via the front door and not the back. for i am a medical microbiologist.
Is it normal that I've never had yeast infection?

You're either lucky, you know how to look after yourself or you've never had sex with someone who's passed it on to you from another partner.
Believe me, be grateful you haven't had one, they're no fun at all!
Oh PS, another reason might be that you haven't had to use antibiotics?

It's not anything recent. It was many years ago I was just stating that the only antibiotics ive actually had to use throughout my life were those.

Sounds as if you're a very lucky woman to never have a yeast infection
