Hi dear!
Welcome and thanks for consulting me. I have carefully worked through your case, and realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as your health issues may resolve soon.
Yes, I think it's sufficient as far as antibiotic prophylaxis is concerned. But add Tablet Ibuprofen 600mg 3 times a day per oral for 3 days too.
May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star ranking, so that I may be in a better position to help you in future too.
