A member asked:
My doctor said i should take 2 cefalexin during nights for my cough.. but today i only took 1 , what may happen?

Nothing: Taking an antibiotic at night for a cough is not standard therapy. It is best to see a doctor to figure out why you have a cough and treat the cause, not the cough.
