One of the biggest dangers when taking antibiotics is the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To reduce this risk, short-term antibiotic treatment is recommended for some diseases. However, the duration is determined only by the doctor. It is important to complete the course to the end and strictly observe the frequency of implementation.
