I usually prescribe 500mg three times daily for 5 days for a mild bacterial RTI
Is 5 days of amoxicillin twice daily a normal treatment time for a mild upper respiratory infection?Age- 25 sex- male height- 5'9 location - green phlegm, sneezing, sore throat, etc.I was given amoxicillin but only for 5 days. Twice a day. I'm assuming the standard dosage. I read online typical treatment is 10 days.Is this long enough usually? The symptoms described here are exactly what the doc was told. Do i need more? It was originally scheduled as a covid visit and the doctor was very short with me, so i don't think they were very thorough in anything. Yes, i know i can get a second opinion, that still doesn't answer me.
