A member asked:
Can i take cefixime for 9 days instead of 10 for strep tonsillitis . im getting very dry eyes and lips , my face feels hot too

I wouldn't stop: The data used to determine eradication of strep & removal of risk of long term strep complications is based on 10 days of treatment with a penicillin based drug like cefixime. I doubt your symptoms are related. The choice is yours. Was it a confirmed strep, or just a guess ?
