Benefitter: You doc should have given you post surgery instructions that should have included meds. I'd call their office. Generally the advice is take all the antibiotics that have been prescribed.

I was on IV antibiotics before, during and after the surgery and then was given a prescription for more pill type antibiotics for 10 days post op. :)
