Doubt in prescription

2023-02-15 12:24:04
The patient was taking Augmentin 625 duo OD from 18 days by mistake for diabetic foot. After around 18 days he got diagnosed for pnumonia & got this prescription from hospital, during prescription writting dr was not told he was taking Augmentin 625 Duo OD for 18 days.  So generally asking does the medicines written on presciption are given for 5 days or 15 days in pnumonia? As written on prescription should he continue after 5 days?
