Should I Stop Taking Antibiotics?

My ENT prescribed Prednisone and an Antibiotic for me. I finished taking the Prednisone but I still have 5 days left on the 14 day stint on Antibiotics. I guess my question is if i haven't noticed any improvement in my T in 9 days, should i even continue the 5 more days? If anything, my T has stayed the same or gotten a little worse. I know we have very few doctors on here and im not looking for medical advice. Just curious if anyone else might have an opinion on this or real life comments.

Thanks as always!

That question is best answered by your doctor. What antibiotic are you taking? If it is possibly ototoxic, you might discuss that with your doctor.

 

not yet, ill do that when i get home. Im at work right now and the name of the antibiotic is escaping me.

 

The general rule is not to cut short an antibiotics treatment, unless you react adversely to it. I wouldn't stop without talking to the ENT about it first.

 

It's probably augmentin, or whatever else they call it, which isn't ototoxic.

 

Its something called CEFDINIR.

 

Hi,

Just had to comment how ironic it would be for an ENT to prescribe ototoxic antibiotics for Tinnitus treatment!
