Child finished 5 day course of antibiotic but the bottle still has some left should i give it to him an extra day..it says give it to him 5 days?

Antibiotics: 5 days course of antibiotic, probably Zithromax. No need to give an extra dose. Stick to the instruction of the doctor and your child may need a follow up appointment with his doctor.
