Best Answer

In some diseases, for example, infections, it takes a certain length of time of exposure to a specific dose of an antibiotic or antiviral drug in order to kill the bacteria or virus. If the right dose is not taken for the correct length of time, some of the bacteria or viruses may survive, multiply, and cause the infection to recur. Inadequate treatment also may promote the development of resistance to the drug by the bacterium or virus. Then the antibiotic or antiviral drug may not work at all.

Am I going to die if I don't finish my antibiotics?

Some people don't finish taking their antibiotics, they take them as the doctor prescribed, but stop when the symptoms start to subside. You won't necessarily die from not taking antibiotics, but if you do, the current ailment you have could progress into worse conditions. So either way, you should finish taking your antibiotics.

Which could result from a person who does not finish the prescribed amount of antibiotics for an infection?

For you personally, if you don't finish the course of antibiotics, the infection may appear to have cleared but in fact may still remain and come back stronger and worse. Depending on the infection, that could mean another course of antibiotics is needed or more drastic treatment. Of course, you may just be lucky and the infection has already been cleared but it will do you no harm to finish the course and it is more likely that you won't have cleared it up. Some infections even take more than one course of antibiotics.

Can antibiotics cause vaginal dryness tearing and itchiness?

Yes, antibiotics can certainly cause itching and dryness, but the tearing would come from sexual intercourse and because you are dry (use KY gel) the tissues are most sensitive. Antibiotics are doing their job, but also cause your body to go right out of whack. The best thing to take while on a regiment of antibiotics is cultured yogurt. This will help that nauseated feeling, lack of appetite, diarrhea that some people experience.
