Brief Answer:
Yes, antibiotics can be given for longer periods.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, for pseudomonas infection, antibiotics can be given for longer duration.
In my opinion, you should try Tobramycin inhaled solution.
It is now preferred in pseudomonas infection.
It is given by Nebulization.
It is having very less side effects and act directly on lung infection.
So discuss about inhaled Tobramycin with your doctor.
