Is There Anything That Can Be Done For ASO Level Of 1600?

According to recent blood work I have an ASO level of about 1600. That is after 2 months of Augmentin (875 daily) and 6 weeks of prednisone (sp). My Dr wants me to remain on antibotics for another 6 months. Is this ok? Is there something else I should be doing?
