According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the U.S. each year, making antibiotic treatment failure a serious concern. This can understandably lead to the frustrating question: "Why am I not getting better after 2 rounds of antibiotics?"

Globally, bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was directly responsible for 1.27 million deaths in 2019 [1.4.1]. Understanding **what to do if symptoms persist after antibiotics** is crucial for your health and combating this growing threat.
