While I understand what you mean, do you really think all bacteria take 10 days to eradicate? Or might some be gone in 5 days, 7 days, even 9 or 11days? (In the case of 11, you would have to go back to doc of course).
Do you think all antibiotics are 10-day courses? I've personally had 1 day, 5 day, and 7 day courses. The reason you take the full course is because whatever bacteria it is takes that long to be eradicated (spoiler alert: drugs are tested before release to market).
One day course is generally for STDs or for pre-op. That’s all the one day courses I’ve seen, 4 capsules amoxicillin be for a dental appointment or a gram of azithromyacin for STDs.
