@tan235 Well, it is very possible that is a big problem. You need a lesson on antibiotics. Each time you take a pill the medicine is working to reduce the numbers of bacteria. S0 lets say there are a million bacteria causing your problem. When you take a pill you reduce it to 800,000 lets say, and then another pill 600,000, and then a another pill 400,000, and then another…if you stop taking pills before it gets to zero, or low enough that your body can fight back the bacteria, then as soon as the drug is out of your system the bacterias start multipying and dividing again and the infection comes right back. This is why it is very important to take you pills currectly. If you stop early, miss a pill, or even take the pill hours late, there is a good chance you will have to start all over again.
Now, the drug you are on has a long half life, so even though you may have stopped a few days ago, it will probably take 6–8 days or so from the last pill you took to feel sick again. If this happens you have to take the meds again CORRECTLY no playing around any more!
If the infection comes back in force, especially if you had a few days in there where you were feeling better, maybe day 3 and 4 after you started the drugs, and then within a week you are getting sick again, it is proof positive the antibiotic is necessary and if you screw around you risk the bacteria developing resistance. If that happens you will have to take another antibiotic, a different one and you won’t now until you actually take this antibiotic correctly. Once you start the meds, which I know is scary for you, but once you start, and you see you are doing ok on that drug, you have to complete the course or you risk having to take many more drugs. Even if you have a bad reaction you should switch meds, not just stop and take nothing more, unless there is a very good reason your doctor thinks what you took so far is probably sufficient. I won’t go into why sometimes we are actually overmedicated, but lets just say you should alwasy assume you need all of the medication. Overmedicated is better than undermedicated on antibiotice, because undermedicated again mean enoug bacteria live to have the illness come right back and another course of antibiotics will be necessary.
