Okay, so how does the average, non-medically-trained person know when the best time to stop is?

...finish all of the medication. antibiotics are not prescribed beyond their need to be consumed. read the directions given to you and follow them.

Exactly. I never said anything about the layperson. Trained medicals on the other hand should be required to update their knowledge.

The non-medically trained person? They should not! The medically trained person on the other hand, should question and update their training, shouldn't they?

So a person should take the entire course of antibiotics that are prescribed to them. I guess I'm confused about why you said to the person who said you should take your entire course of antibiotics and not stop because of feelings is making false assumptions.
