Yes.
You must finish taking all of the antibiotics. Even if your symptoms have begun to clear up and you are feeling better; if you still have antibiotics left than you are likely still contagious.
Symptoms often begin to go away before you have completed taking all of the medicine, the virus itself however is normally still present and your body is still fighting it off.

∙ 10y agoYes, it is. Some staph infections like MRSA are highly contagious, and they are difficult to treat. Other staph infections are easier to treat, but just as contagious. If you think you have a staph infection, by all means see your doctor for appropriate medication.
