Yes, you'll need to complete the course of antibiotics and get the infection cleared up before the doctor can do anything more.

What type of medications are given for a tonsillectomy?
If it's a bacterial infection, then a course of antibiotics is given, usually Azithromycin. Also, drink lots of fluid and get plenty of rest.Mainly painkillers, but antibiotics can also be prescribed if the tonsillitis is caused by bacteria. If the tonsillitis returns multiple times, then a tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) will be performed.

Viruses run their course and antibiotics are not prescribed for them. Antibiotics work against bacterial illnesses. So, if you have a cold (virus), but get pneumonia (bacterial) you can take antibiotics to get better.

Unfortunately antibiotics can and do exhibit side effects four days after completing the course. I never start antibiotics without taking acidophilus and eating lots of yogurt.
You have been diagnosed with pneumonia have had a course of antibiotics how do you look after yourself have been in bed for 2 weeks?
Staying in bed isn't actually helping. You should be up and about as much as you're able, as that will help keep your airways clean. Keep active but don't overexert yourself.
Is that just a myth that one should complete the course of antibiotics?
No. Obviously not. If a patient does not complete a course of antibiotics, they run the risk of selecting for antibiotic resistant bacteria in their body. If these bacteria become infectious, stronger (more expensive) antibiotics will be required to treat the secondary infection.
What do I do if I get worms?
See a doctor immediately for removal or a course of antibiotics to kill them.
Which could result from a person who does not finish the prescribed amount of antibiotics for an infection?
For you personally, if you don't finish the course of antibiotics, the infection may appear to have cleared but in fact may still remain and come back stronger and worse. Depending on the infection, that could mean another course of antibiotics is needed or more drastic treatment. Of course, you may just be lucky and the infection has already been cleared but it will do you no harm to finish the course and it is more likely that you won't have cleared it up. Some infections even take more than one course of antibiotics.
Why is it harmful for patients not to continue the whole course of antibiotic treatment?
If you stop taking your antibiotics before the full course of treatment is complete, you may kill only some of the bacteria that caused the infection. Worse yet, the remaining bacteria may have some resistance to the antibiotics. It is also important to take antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor, and in particular do not take antibiotics for a virus (such as the common cold or the flu). Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
