See your doctor: If a culture has not already been done one needs to be done to see if you are on the correct antibiotic. The other option is to get a second opinion.

Return: 6 weeks is a long time. Please return to your physician for reevaluation and perhaps a different direction of treatment. Referral to a specialist may be in order.
