This would depend on what your son had. Discuss with your Dr. You may also want to spend $20 and go to uptodate.com and read about what is recommended for whatever his Dr. thought he had.

It was likely intended for 7 to10 days. You may want to call the support/help line and they will be able to contact Dr Lewis in order to clarify.
