How much time does it take for antibiotics to take effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment timeline: It totally depends on 'what' you are treating and all the complicated factors such as the type of germ, the extent of disease, the patient and their medical history etc. Hopefully your prescribing doctor got it right in terms of starting you on therapy -if you are concerned about your condition (not responding for example) definitely CALL THEM so they can adjust therapy. It is their responsibility
