That's changed now, for humans at least. Doctors will vary but our practice
(about eight doctors and several nurses) advise to stop taking the
antibiotics when symptoms have gone.


That's just plain wrong.


But it is odd how 'courses' vary according to who gives them to you.
Typically dentists prescribe shorter courses than doctors. It often
seems random how long a course is. And that is even for the same medication.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
