<p data-start="2214" data-end="2356">Quick question&mdash;when you start antibiotics for a bacterial infection, is it normal to feel better in just 2&ndash;3 days?

<p data-start="2358" data-end="2505">Because that&rsquo;s what usually happens with me. I start something like <strong data-start="2426" data-end="2472">amoxicillin 500mg (Zylomox 500mg capsules) and symptoms reduce pretty fast.

<p data-start="2507" data-end="2578">But here&rsquo;s the confusing part&mdash;sometimes the infection comes back later.

<p data-start="2580" data-end="2691">So now I&rsquo;m wondering if feeling better early actually means the infection is gone&hellip; or just reduced temporarily?

<p data-start="2693" data-end="2841">I&rsquo;ve heard that stopping antibiotics early can cause recurrence, but honestly, when you feel completely fine, it&rsquo;s hard to continue the full course.



<p data-start="2843" data-end="3014">Just trying to understand&mdash;should we always complete the full duration even if symptoms disappear? And has anyone else faced this &ldquo;quick relief but return later&rdquo; situation?
