A member asked:

I haven't taken the rest of the antibiotics for over two weeks now, would they work if i just finished them now after two weeks or would i need to go back to my local doctors to get new treatment?

Yes: you should take as directed. If no symptoms after two weeks is generally OK and unless it's specific type infection your doctor says needs to finish treatment.Specific advice from your doctor
