Not all bacteria...: ...respond to all antibiotics. Considerations: 1) do you know if your illness was bacterial in origin? 2) If cultures proved positive, were antibiotic sensitivities checked to know that you took the correct antibiotic? By the way, viruses do not respond to antibiotics, so if symptoms persist a re-evaluation is appropriate now.
