Antibiotics
Hello Lifesavers,
I have one question which I want to know for my knowledge.
One of the Doctor gave me antibiotic for my ear infection 3 years back. Now whenever my ear get infacted, I complete the course of that antibiotic which fix the damage.
My que is - If i do not complete the course, since sometime taking 3-4 tablets only (from a pack of 10 tablets) fix my ear infection. Is it recommended to finish entire course of antibiotic always and not take 3-4 tablets only even if solve the problem?

Whenever you take antibiotics always take the full course but it is not safe to take antibiotics on your own without consulting a doctor even if you have had similar problem earlier.
