View allI tested positive for strep last week, and my sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and slight fever made me feel pretty rough. But now, after some rest, all those symptoms have disappeared. I was supposed to start antibiotics, but since I'm feeling much better, I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Are there risks if I've started to feel better on my own? I haven't taken antibiotics in ages, and they usually mess up my stomach, which concerns me because I'm also breastfeeding. Should I go ahead and take them anyway, or is it okay to skip them since everything seems to be improving?
For breastfeeding mothers, it is important to choose antibiotics that are safe during lactation to avoid any harm to the baby. It is crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If you have concerns about the impact of antibiotics on your digestive system, you can discuss potential alternatives or supportive measures with your healthcare provider.

Just wondering about this levoflox 500mg prescription for my ear infection. I accidentally skipped it for three days. Do you think itll still work if I start taking it again from day four? Or is it better to switch to something else?
You should continue taking Levoflox 500mg as prescribed for the remaining 4 days to complete the full course of treatment. Missing a few doses may reduce the effectiveness of the medication, but it is still important to finish the prescribed course. Do not switch to another medication without consulting your doctor.
