Brief Answer:
No need for repeat testing if asymptomatic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

If symptoms resolved with the treatment then there is no need for repeat testing. The main indicator is the symptomatic improvement and clinical response of the patient to the antibiotics.

Let me know if you have any query
