that's it...done.i hate antibiotic btw....smells awful and not tasty...urgh..but have to eat...or else,im not going to recover thoroughly..hmm...and remember finish the antibiotic according to the dosage and days......even if u feels ok,u have to continue eating..or else,when u get sick again,the antibiotic may not be effective enough for u.say resistance to your immune system...and u might have to use higher dose or change into other antibiotic from the same@different group...


xx...goodnight!
