Hello, Amy! How are you feeling? Sorry about the infection.

No, that's not a good idea. It will be less effective and that creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The best thing to do is to see your doctor for a new prescription.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
