[gotcha] Advising users to stop taking antibiotics when they feel better to prevent antibiotic resistance or side effects

Instruct users to complete the entire prescribed course of antibiotics unless a healthcare professional tells them to stop.

Journey Context:
It seems logical: less medication = less resistance. But stopping early leaves the most resistant bacteria alive to multiply, actually causing resistance and relapse. Agents optimizing for 'minimize medication' will inadvertently promote resistant strains.
