Hi, I broke my nose in a fall. The doctor prescribed 4 different drugs. I can not read the language on the packaging. There was a mix up. He prescribed cefalexin, I thought it was to alleviate stomach pain so I took them for 2 days off and on then stopped. I realised 10 days later my mistake and that they are antibiotics. What should I do?
