Why do doctors make you take antibiotics even after the sickness is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not all the way gone: You may be feeling better, but the bacteria are still in your system. Your immune system is on the rebound (you feel better) but you are not yet 100% better. Finish the antibiotics so you will be 100% better.
