I recently had a skin infection and took antibiotics for 7 days. Two weeks later, I still have pain. What should I do?

It is possible that the initial antibiotic treatment was not enough to completely eliminate the infection, which is why you are still experiencing pain. It would be best to consult with a healthcare professional again to get a new prescription for a different antibiotic or to continue with the same antibiotic for an additional week. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations to fully treat the infection.
