Your doctor diagnoses you with Strep throat, and then prescribes you an antibiotic to take for 10 days. After 7 days, you feel much better and no longer show any symptoms. Is it ok to go ahead and stop taking the antibiotic?

No , it is always suggested that you finish the medicine , that way it doesn't come back .

Not just come back @HisOnlyForever Not completing the course of anti-biotics will increase the chances that it will get drug-resistant!
