Hey Friend.

I am not MD but I can provide you with answer.

AntiBiotics are know also as AntiBacterials. So if you fell better after 10 days it means that most bacteria that caused demage to organisam died out, but not the whole strain. So you need to take the rest to stop bacteria from reproducing further.
