Prescribing doctor: Did the doctor who prescribed antibiotics not provide instructions for taking antibiotics? It would be prudent to consult that doctor as s/he knows about your health and knows why the antibiotics were prescribed. If you are unable to contact the doctor, take the antibiotics. Wish you good health!
