If you stop taking your antibiotic before you complete the course any surviving bacteria developes an immunity to that antibiotic. You must then take a different, usually stronger antibiotic to kill the infection. Once that happens that particular antibiotic usually will not work for any bacterial infection you may get.

Because so many people don't finish the course of antibiotics we now have all kinds of antibiotic resistant bacteria, which can become a serious problem.
