A member asked:
Do we have to follow like 3 or 5 day course for all antibiotics? my paed doc said its not necessary for all only few. so can we take one time?

Take as directed: All antibiotics are prescribed with the intent that they will be taken as directed by the doctor. The amount and frequency varies and if you are instructed to take 3 times a day for 7 days then that is what you should do. Always listen to your doctor, they know what is best.
