It's important to complete the full antibiotic course even if symptoms improve, as stopping early can lead to incomplete treatment and antibiotic resistance. For most stomach/diarrhea infections, a course of 3-5 days is standard, but this depends on what antibiotic was prescribed and by whom. Always follow the duration your doctor prescribed.
Next Steps
Complete the course as prescribed â do not stop early because you feel better. Stay hydrated with ORS and take probiotics alongside to restore gut bacteria. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
