Antibiotics do nothing against a virus. Further, there are dangers with taking antibiotics 'randomly' as you appear to be considering.

These defects may also affect the bodyâs ability to clean up the fibrin deposits formed as a result of the clotting process. Thick blood may also be caused by the presence of harmful pathogens such as fungi, viruses, bacteria, and parasites. These pathogens can actually activate a coagulation response in the body as a way to avoid being attacked by the bodyâs immune system.

While your physician may prescribe medications to thin the blood, certain vitamins also have been shown to have blood-thinning effects.
