Hello,
thank you for asking the question.
you didn’t tell me your age. ?
are your renal function tests are normal? did you doctor order any echocardiography?
well having a raised level of ASO titer alone may not be a problem, but sometime it may cause heart or kidney problem so we need to look for them. As the titers are increasing, which are raising a concern, so plz continue to monitor for heart and urinary symptoms, if you notice anything unusual consult your doctor. we need to make sure if your throat infection is completely treated. I will advice see a good medical specialist in your area and discuss your symptoms and reports with him.
not completing antibiotics course is a big mistake, as if you don’t complete the antibiotic course, the bacteria may become resistant, and then no antibiotic will be able to kill it, so plz follow your doctor’s advice.
Regards.
