Why do we need to take antibiotics in a certain amount of time?
In: Chemistry
If the doctor says take these antibiotics pills for 10 days, and you feel better after 7 days, you still need to keep taking the pills for 10 days. This is because there’s a chance that you are still infected but you just feel better, and if you don’t kill all of the bad bugs then they will start coming back and you’ll have to take even more antibiotics.
Its better to do 3 extra days of antibiotics than having to do 7 days then adding on another 10 afterwards because you didn’t kill all of the bugs the first time.
