Pinki Rani is suffering from ILd.She is on oxygen support from last 8 months .from last five days she was  experiencing breathlessness and tiredness .. From our earlier consultation from her doctor he has prescribed Augumentin 625 so we have started giving her that after that from last two days she has improved. Can we finish this course in 5 days or further also it's required if yes for how many days. And could you please suggest if we should go for any test to detect any bacterial infection. Thanks
