If you are taking antibiotics and skipped a day will the antibiotics work?

I would suggest that your contact the physician who prescribed you the antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescribed for many conditions and they always must be finished unless otherwise directed by your doctor. People generally feel better within days and think they can stop their antibiotics. Infections can return if you do not finish the prescribed course. Bacteria can develop a tolerance to our antibiotics due to many people not finishing the job. Ask a doctor if taking a probiotic during or after a treatment is okay to get help with digestion during a treatment and restore beneficial bacteria needed in the body.

What are the trade offs of taking medicine when you feel sick?

The trade-offs of taking a medicine when you feel sick are: 1. You might not feel better after taking the medicine. To prevent this to happen you must take a nap, a nap that is at least up to 30 min. it will help you feel better, it will relax your mind and it will make you feel a bit better than before. 2. You might feel even wrost if you dont take the medicine the correct way. When taking a medicine you should be calm, it will be better if you drink the medicine with pour water. After drinking it sit down and relax for some time so the medicine will have effect. 3. The medicine may help you but some time later you may feel sick again so you will have to take, eat, drink the right things in oder not to get the effects back again. You should make sure you dont do, eat,drik,ect...the things that made you get sick at first.
