Dr. I went to the doctor with a strong cough and flu, I had x-ray, and blood test, then he prescribed me syrup and also Clavulin bd 875 + 125 p / 14 days Why? Always give it for 7 days.
Expert answer:

In fact there is no fixed number of days that people should take the antibiotics, the doctor can change this according to the disease and the severity of the problem. Ideally you should respect your doctor's prescription and take it as he indicated, he must have reason to have done so. You need to trust the doctor you sought.
