HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You need to consider completing the course of antibiotics for a 7 day period.

If the course is not completed, even though you may feel better, the bacteria causing the infection can become resistant to the antibiotic.
The infection is not completely cleared (though your symptoms may feel as though they are gone) and you may prevent the antibiotic from working for you in the future.

You should have a lab urine analysis done to determine the best antibiotic to treat the infection and take the medication for the complete recommended time to clear it.

I hope this helps
