My guess would be that she was trying to get out of the 'cillan family if it bothers you. Also, different types of antibiotics address different issues. F'rinstance, Macrobid has a high urinary concentration, which makes it good for UTIs. Amox is very wide-spectrum, but breaks down quickly. Silmarian is allergic to cillans and sensitive to some that have cillan-like constructions, so the Zithromax is iffy.
My solution was usually to force them to do a sensitivity culture to get the lowest possible time on the drug, and then extract two Diflucan pills from them, one for the start of symptoms and one for the end of the course.
