Is A Repeat Tongue Culture Test Advisable When On Antibiotics?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I have had my tongue culture test in the same day after taking antibiotics. Whilst I was advised to take tongue culture after 3 days of stop taking antibiotics.
The result seems normal. However, would you advise me to retake the tongue culture again?
Please advise.
Thank you and best regards,
XXXX
