Need more info: Difficult to respond without a full history and exam, but the one thing you do not want to do is to take antibiotics without a defined purpose. That means that because of a specific diagnosis and a probable cause a doctor has prescribed it. These are far from benign. If you keep up with news, cl difficile, candida, multi-resistant bacilli, mrsa, and so on and so on. To say nothing of allergies.
