I've been on antibiotics for sinus infection. i missed a few(4) days, can i resume or do i need a new prescription?

Start abx back: It's important to be consistent with antibiotics especially for sinus infections b/c inconsistencies can create resistance. I'd recommend finishing your current prescription and if you are not improving, return to your doctor to have him/her re-evaluate to see if you need extension on that prescription.
