I saw a dr on friday with cough. gave me antibiotics. last pills are today but still feeling ill. should i go back for follow up or wait it out.

Wait it out: This may be a viral infection if not responding to antibiotic therapy: figure 7-10 days and possibly 2-3 weeks if this is a relapsing viral infection.
