I made a mistake with my antibiotics

[IamAporcupine]

didn't finish the course and now I feel awful again
what should I do?

[furryelephant]

What were they for? I’d be inclined to say fluids and rest and wait to see if your body fights it by itself, but obviously that depends on a lot of things

[Caulk]

Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist? Depends on why you didnt, when you stopped, what they were for etc

[MsHippo]

Why didn't you finish them? And what were they for in the fist place?

[IamAporcupine]

caulk yes I know, I guess it was a bit of a silly question. I will go to the doc tomorrow if I still feel bad.
Just wondering if this will have really bad consequences.

They were tonsillitis. When I got them from the pharmacy they didn't have enough for the full course, so I took what they had thinking I would pick up the rest the following day, but then I traveled and when I got back I forgot about them

[Snap8TheCat]

Go and pick up the rest now

[IamAporcupine]

Snap8TheCat will they work though? I guess the bacteria now are probably resistant?

[Caulk]

Just speak to the pharmacist surely?

[Fairylea]

Pick up the rest and start them and get a doctors appointment for Monday and speak to someone then if you’re still unwell and they can prescribe you more.

[IamAporcupine]

I talked to the pharmacist, she said I could a) pick up the rest, b) wait till Monday to see if my body will fight it off on its own, or c) see the doctor...
not much help really

I was ok-ish yesterday but feel awful today, so I am considering going to the walk-in centre, but I do not want to waste resources if I could simply take the remaining antibiotics.

[Snap8TheCat]

So you didn’t pick them up? Tbh you’re making a bit of a meal of this when you could at least try the medicine that has already been prescribed and is presumably waiting for you?! I don’t know why it’s taking you so many days to decide.

[Ecureuil]

Pick up the rest of the tablets and take them...

2 days ago you could have done something about this
