What happens if i stop taking my antibiotics for a strep throat? even tho i feel bettsr

Bad idea: Reasonable chance that the infection will not be adequately treated, will persist and you will start to feel sick again. In addition, you are selecting for the difficult to kill bacteria that are more resistant to the antibiotics you are given. You need to finish all of the antibiotics prescribed.
