I must ask....How do you know about your resistance status.... Whether u have your sensitivity reports or u have nothing because antibiotics must be taken cautiously....Don't use them or change them on daily basis.....
Contact me for better prescription..
Next Steps
Go for sensitivity testing if u r not getting good results after using Augmentin otherwise no need to change the medicine
