        The answer is "yes" to save you the bother. Patients should "continue to follow medical advice" 🙄 (unsurprisingly)

        Try not to use them if you can. Fight through it. You'll have a stronger immune system. Doc hand they out too easily.

        Shouldn't the question be, do you really need to take a course on antibiotics?

        It would be rational to undertake a microbiological investigation before prescribing antibiotics. We don't have the resources.

        My advice is to avoid being Drug taker, as it only leads to dependency. Food is your medicine, not chemical drugs! 💉👎

        I thought the risk was that the BACTERIA could become resistant if the course wasn't completed.
