Call Doctor: While this isn't my area of expertise, I am used to treating patient for various things. I would suggest that in this or any other case concerning your health, when you have questions on treatment, contact the doctor's office and let them know. They may want to see you again, they may call in a different antibiotic or this may be the normal progression of things.

Tell your doctor: Please tell your doctor where you are with your symptoms and your antibiotic prescription, so appropriate recommendations can be made. You may need another exam and/or different antibiotic, etc. Very important to follow up, to make sure the infection is gone -- or look for additional issues.
