Hi,

It depends upon which antibiotics you are taking. Since you did not mention the name of antibiotic prescribed by your doctor it is very difficult to answer your question. However, if your doctor has prescribed the antibiotic based on the culture and sensitive report they usually work and thus help in eradication of the infection.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
