Hi I do care for your concern. The antibiotic should be followed for one full complete course. The augmenting Chat Doctor.  Bactrim can also be taken, but two antibiotics are usually not needed. I would advise If you fell the discomfort even after completion of antibiotics then go for Bactrim for another three days, that too after your physicians advise. It is advisable to add antacids and pro bionics. Using antiseptic soap and other hygiene measure will add to the help. Hope everything gets well soon. Hope I have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
