Hard call.

It may be that it's nearly better so the Dr wants to kill it off with the same drug that appears to be working. I'm sure your used to parents that panic over their children and say that they're no better when a clinician can see that there is actually some improvement.

Or the doc may be worried about giving another drug to a bacterium that seems to be developing a resistance to flucloxacillin. Maybe he thinks you're gonna get a Multi-resistant strain if he gives another drug.

Or maybe he's an a*sehole!

Hope this helps!
