What is an ideal time for followup for anti biotic therapy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
48-72 hours: Most antibiotics begin to work within 48-72 hours, so anytime after that should be ok. It does, however, depend on how severe and what type of infection you have, since some infections take longer to respond and clear up than others.
