Good morning, on January 7 I was prescribed the drug amotaks 1 g twice a day. Three days after taking the antibiotic, i.e. today (10.01) an itchy, burning and painful rash appeared on my face. I called my GP and he told me to stop taking the medicine without prescribing another substitute, and I'm afraid three days of antibiotics is too short. If I stop it, will the disease and its symptoms not return?

Discontinuation of the antibiotic after 3 days may cause the symptoms of infection to return. Nevertheless, if you have not tolerated the medicine well and the fever and other worrying symptoms have resolved and the doctor has advised you to stop the therapy, please follow the specialist's instructions. Perhaps it is worth implementing symptomatic treatment - relieve the symptoms of cough with the use of medicines and over-the-counter means. If the cough is wet, you can use drugs that dilute the secretion and facilitate expectoration. Here you can check the availability of this type of means and order a preparation with home delivery or collection at a pharmacy: e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/1513/acc-optima-tabletki-musujace/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92025/deflegmin-kapsulki-o-przedluzonym-uwalnianiu/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/64659/prospan-syrop/apteki More information and examples can be found here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/kaszel-mokry When the cough is dry, it is worth taking care of hydration of the respiratory tract. If the cough tires at night, cough suppressants can be used. e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/76618/syrop-islandzki-syrop/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92559/levopront-syrop/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/71319/sinecod-syrop/apteki More here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/kaszel-suchy Inhalations may also be helpful.

I will also add that all other symptoms of the disease have disappeared except for the persistent cough.
