This is an odd predicament, and I'm currently not on state insurance so I can't afford to go to a doctor and ask. I currently have some sort of respiratory infection, no idea what it is unfortunately. I don't leave the house so it's not a big deal for infection's sake.

Anyways, whenever I get sick or have allergies at night, I start taking Hydroxyzine to sleep. Pretty much just a lighter Benedryl. Well, it's teal and dark blue, and so is Cephlaxin. Took some, thinking it was Hydroxyzine, was doing way better the day afterwards. But then saw my nightstand last night and realized that I definitely took Cephlaxin. Should I keep taking the anti-biotic (wasn't prescribed to me at all, for clarity) to complete the course? Or should I stop taking them now? I only took one dose, so normally I'd just say fuck it. However, I do actually have a respiratory infection right now, so I'm worried about opening th doorw. Thoughts?
