- I will finish all of the antibiotic even if I feel better in a few days
- I will take baths instead of showers to soothe the area

Show answer
Correct answer: I will finish all of the antibiotic even if I feel better in a few days
Finishing the full course lowers the risk of antibiotic-resistant organisms, and extra fluids help flush bacteria.
