I was not sure how long I was supposed to do it for. My dad told me today I should have done it for 7 days. Is it that big of a deal?</end quote></div>


Did YOU take it for 5 days or did the doctor PRESCRIBE it for 5 days? IF you decided to take it for 5 days then you are screwing yourself. A med is prescribed for a certain amount of days for a certain amount for a reason. You wont/dont/cant get the full benefit otherwise. If anything you could start resistance depending on how often it happens. IF the doctor prescribed it this way then IMHO he screwed up.

No, the doctor didnt prescribe it that way, but it didnt say on the bottle how long to take it and its been like 2 years since I took it and I didnt know how long it was. So would starting back on it today be a good idea as long as I take the medicine for 10 days?

As a rule if you are given a bottle of meds unless it specifies otherwise you are to finish that bottle.................

Of course this doesnt apply if you are told to discontinue the med

Feel better soon...it sounds like you didn't get enough antibiotics, but your doc will be able to give you the best advice. When I am on Augmentin, it is usually for at least a minimum of 10 days, usually 14 with me. But...everyone is different. It sounds like you have been under alot of stress too, school can do that for sure. My thoughts are with you, Jenn <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Tampa, huh? If you're going to TGH I suggest Dr. Rolfe. He's always taken good care of me. I hope you feel better soon!

Well I have like 3 whole boxes of the stuff in my drawer, if that were the case I would be taking augmentum for over a month.
