This is an interesting finding, but there are two important things to keep in mind: they only reviewed some illnesses, and even there one had better cure rate for longer treatment, this means we need a lot more studies. And another one I will quote from the article you linked:
You should still follow your doctor’s instructions about the length of antibiotic therapy.
If you are feeling better and think that you may not need the entire course, be sure to ask your doctor first.
Considering that many will not be able to ask a doctor on time to stop early, both because it may cost extra and because there’s usually a waiting list of who knows how long, it seems unrealistic to expect real change soon.
So, I partially agree with you and will try to spread the info and ask doctors about this, but I think it should rather be seen as a need for more studies. Maybe there already are more, the article is from 2017, but right now I don’t have time to search for that.
Thank you for the information
