I lost the last tablet from my antibiotics course. Will I get ill again?

I can’t find it anywhere- not sure what to do!

It will be fine. If you feel well, the infection is gone. I know they want us to take the whole pack, but it isn't that an exact science.

I think you'll be fine as it's only 1. Last time my son had a course of antibiotics, the bottle was knocked over and we lost his whole last day. My GP didn't issue any more and said as he'd had all of his other doses he would be fine. He was.

You'll be fine. I'm sure there must be a margin of error built in to these treatments
