I was prescribed antibiotics for a strep throat. I've taken 11 out of 20 pills since they prescribed at 2 times a day. Then my antibiotics went missing for about 2 days, fell behind my bed and I didn't realize. My throat was feeling much better but now it's starting to hurt again but i've found the antibiotics. Will they still be effective if I haven't taken them for almost 2 days?
