Many patients start feeling better and stop their antibiotics early but this can be dangerous. What happens if you stop midway? • Infection can come back, often stronger. • Bacteria may develop resistance, making future infections harder to treat. • Complications can occur, especially in diabetics and ICU patients. What you should do: • Always complete the prescribed course. • Never self-medicate with leftover antibiotics. • Consult an Infectious Diseases Specialist before starting or changing any antibiotic. Your health is precious. Using antibiotics wisely protects not just you, but your family and community too. Dr. Prerna Lakhotia Fever & Infection Clinic, Indore
