Strep and antibiotic: Often times an antibiotic must be taken for 48 to 72 hours before your symptoms start resolving. Don't be fooled and think it doesn't hurt anymore so I can stop my medicine! Take your medicine exactly as written until gone because if you stop early your symptoms likely will return and the bacteria may be resistant to the antibiotic originally given. After 72 hrs you may need a different med.
