Question
I started a prescription but I didn't finish because I kept forgetting to take the medicine. After some weeks passed I finished last two pills in the bottle. Does this mean my infection has gone away or should I see a doctor?
Answer
It would be a really good idea for you to see the same doctor and ask for a test for cure, explaining you did not finish the pills and get checked. Just in case!
