A member asked:
If i finish taking prescribed antibiotics but it hasn't completely healed my industrial piercing infection, can i take more even if i stopped days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go back to doctor: The organism causing this infection may be resistant to the antibiotic you were taking, the infection may be more extensive than initially suspected, or other problems may exist. You need to be reassessed. Good luck.
