However, some patients got better immediately saw the withdrawal, fear of drug side effects, just leave, is not desirable. Although on the surface, symptom relief, but at this time if you do not continue medication, the body that will not kill the bacteria back to life. At this time, not only may lead to bacterial resistance, but also the complications increase.
