Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.
In my opinion you should take the complete course of antibiotic.
With complete course of antibiotics, both the disease never reappears.
But if the treatment is left without completion then there is possibility of recurrence.
In addition to the antibiotics please eat healthy diet like green vegetables, fruits and high protein diet.
