It is necessary to continue the medication for awhile, the antibiotic activity will show up slowly, so, please complete the course advised by your doctor. The pain killers will act only to reduce symptoms which will recur once the effect wears off.A period of 48-72 hours is required for the turnaround of symptoms. If you make changes early the clock will start again from scratch and your process of recovery will be delayed further.
please complete the course or meet your doctor after 48 hrs at least.
